UVA INPATIENT WARD
The UVA Ward teams usually meet at 7:30 AM on 7 West. The ward resident assigns each student to 1 of 2 ward teams which consist of a resident and two interns. There are usually 2 to 3 students per team. Students will take night call concurring with the day their team is on call. The resident & intern brief students on ward responsibilities.
Each student assigned to the UVA Pediatrics ward rotation will spend one week (during the 4 week rotation) working with the Pediatrics resident assigned to the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology service. During that week, the student(s) assigned to the Pediatrics Hematology/Oncology inpatient service will work with the Pediatrics Hematology/Oncology resident during the mornings (weekdays) and not "round" with the Pediatrics ward team. Those students will take night call in rotation with the other students (usually every 4th night), and will participate in afternoon teaching conferences.
KLUGE CHILDREN'S REHABILITATION CENTER
Students scheduled for the KCRC will report to the nurses' station at the KCRC for rounds that begin at 7:30 AM. KCRC patient care is comparable with that on the UVA ward, with special rules regarding on-service notes, presentations, and new patient write-ups. Patients will be assigned to students on a rotating basis by the KCRC Resident. The schedule covering admissions, conferences, various teaching rounds, and staff meetings regarding patients will be distributed at the beginning of the rotation. There is no night or weekend call at the KCRC, but there is often evening and random weekend work. Rounds will begin promptly at 7:30 AM, followed by a tour and orientation for the KCRC rotation.
Parking for students is available in the parking lot at the KCRC, and we have acquired "hangtags" to facilitate return to the UVA Hospital area for conferences and workshops. You will pick a parking hangtag from Carole Abel at the front desk of the KCRC on your first day. This pass is for parking at the 11th street parking structure. MAKE SURE TO PARK IN THE UPPER DECKS, NOT PATIENT PARKING IN THE LOWER DECKS (there are marked signs). The hangtags are to be checked back in on the last day of the KCRC inpatient rotation to Carole Abel. Should the tag become lost or damaged, please contact the Peds Education office as soon as possible. If the tag is not returned, you will receive an incomplete for the course until it is returned.
