Review all mammograms performed prior to review with the attending. The amount of assistance from the attending will be based on your level of experience. All patients who do not live in this area or who may have a difficult time returning should be reviewed with the attending before the patient leaves. Again, attendings will be available after 10 am. Do not hesitate to page if they are not immediately available.
Patient care is the main priority.
All early readings should be sent after review with an attending. Results of all mammograms are recorded in the Daily Log Book. This facilitates giving reports when people call from clinics. Track patients on the main rotor on a Daily Log Sheet, marking them off when they have been reviewed and dictated. For women requiring a 6 month follow-up, the referring physician should be notified.
