Description of the Rotation

The students will manage and round on patients on the general medical floor, ICU, CCU & and step-down areas of the hospital. They will learn to manage critically ill patients on ventilators.

Students will do 2 Saturdays/Sundays in the month as well. Times are subject to change as per the attending’s schedule. Outpatient clinics 1-2 times a week for roughly 4 hours. Students may also be required to attend didactics, lectures, and grand rounds. The attending physicians will inform the students of the schedule at the beginning of the rotation.

This is a unique learning experience for medical graduates who are committed to becoming effective, successful residents. You will see an array of patients with various disorders and learn their Rx and Mx.

You will learn the United States Health Care system under the supervision of a teaching attending physician. At the end of your 4-week rotation, the rotating student may request a performance-based letter of recommendation on Hospital letterhead. While participating as a member of the team, you will learn to interact with diverse patients and perform detailed history taking and physical examination, check labs and notes on the patient.
