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.
