There are always at least three preceptors available. Between the three of them, they precept the upper level residents, interns, and procedures, and also provide chart review. All intern notes are reviewed. Faculty and resident charts are also reviewed, but on a rotating basis. Any chart can be examined upon request.
Faculty also review all EKGs.
When a resident orders an EKG, he or she reads it, and completes an interpretation form. Faculty review these immediately. This chart and EKG review process works very well, allowing a structured dialogue between residents and faculty. The main procedure room is also on the fourth floor. We have a self-contained nasopharyngoscopy cart that can be used in the procedure room or in any exam room.
