House officers will also approve all ICU sheets for their respective patients before the ICU sheets are placed at the stall. Faculty clinicians have the final responsibility for patient care. As above, with increasing competency comes increased responsibility. Ideally, this should steadily increase over the year. Case responsibility is an earned privilege, not a right.
Faculty are responsible for providing guidance in all aspects of clinical case management.
You should make it a habit to run things by available residents and faculty. When not assigned to weekend duty, house officers are still responsible for primary case care and oversight, and are expected to attend weekend rounds unless prior arrangements have been made with the faculty person in charge of the service. Clinical rotations will be in single or multiple 3-week rotations with Monday being the change day. In addition, emergency duty will be divided equally between house officers. Weekend and night duty may require some field or ambulatory service.
