There is a lecture at 11AM Monday-Thursday. During your rotation you will learn how to resuscitate newborns and take care of sick neonates. Every intern spends four weeks in the LAC-USC newborn nursery. GPS is our weekly continuity clinic. You will have one hour to see new patients and a half hour to see well child or sick visits.
Translators are available.
After seeing your patient, you will present the patient to one of the GPS attendings. After discussing the case they will see the patient with you. The nurses will give vaccinations and check hearing and vision as needed. You will have GPS clinic throughout your residency so you will be able to follow some patients for three years. Finally, during your second and third year of residency, you will have the opportunity to do telephone triage for the clinic in which you will learn how to answer off-hours questions by parents on various pediatric issues.
