Residency: Faculty Instruction and Supervision
Full-time faculty provide direct supervision and teaching to interns and residents during rounds, lectures, clinics and conferences. Formal teaching rounds are held three to four times weekly on each service. Three times weekly, x-rays are reviewed in Radiology Conference with housestaff and attending physicians.
The ward service is attended by full-time faculty members in the Department of Pediatrics. The subspecialty rotations are directed by one or more full-time staff members who maintain very close daily supervision of residents assigned to that particular service. Subspecialty rounds and conferences are conducted daily by each service.
Close supervision and excellent, readily available instruction is and integral part of all services. This is true in emergency and ambulatory care clinics as well. Subspecialty fellows serve as teachers/consultants rather than primary care managers.
