ATTENDING and RESIDENT ROLES:
Each student will be working with a team that will include an attending physician and various levels of resident physicians. Attending physicians and residents are expected to involve the student as much as possible and encourage active participation of the student as a member of the treatment team. The clerkship objectives should be used as the guidelines for teaching and evaluation. Much of the clinical teaching on service occurs during rounds. Students should be encouraged to practice their interviewing skills and present clinical data during rounds. Supervision by an upper level resident or an attending is required for the meeting of the passport requirements (see below). Following rounds, students can expect to spend most of the workday with the intern and resident physicians and should be actively engaged in the day to day duties of patient care. Attending or resident physicians may suggest readings or topics for exploration that supplement the recommeded readings. If time permits, they may also choose to give talks that are supplemental to the scheduled didactics. Attending physicians are expected to give midroation feedback to students after 2 weeks. Towards the end of the rotation, attending and resident physicians will be solicited via OASIS for a more comprehensive performance evaluation which should be completed in a timely fashion.
