PGY-I's are required to take two months of neurology, two months of emergency psychiatry, four months of inpatient psychiatry, and two months of internal medicine. While on Internal Medicine, PGY-I's are part of a team, which include medical students, medical residents, and an attending. The team has daily clinical and educational rounds, and residents are exposed to a wide variety of medical illnesses.
Night call is every fourth night.
The attendings round daily with the team and a substantial part of the rounds is devoted to education. Internal Medicine takes place both at University Medical Center and the VA Medical Center. The Inpatient Neurology rotation at the VA Medical Center allows PGY-I's to observe a wide variety of neurologic disorders. Residents join a team that includes an attending and a neurology resident. Rounds are daily Monday through Friday.
