PGY I:
Responsibilities include accepting primary decision making for patient management in collaboration with the senior resident and attending physician. The intern is expected to enter all orders in CPOE, document patients' care in the chart with H&P and SOAP notes, perform daily work rounds and attend all conferences.

"A friendly working environment that allows for exposure to
disease through hands on experience.” - Candice Robb-Rarey, D.O.
|
PGYII:
Junior residents are expected to ensure quality of care for each patient, supervise interns, take a leadership role during work rounds, and participate in all conferences. They also play a major role in the education of medical students and interns and give presentations at Clinicopathological Conference, Journal Club and Morbidity & Mortality Conference.
PGY III:
Main goal is to perfect clinical and teaching skills with emphasis on leadership in the residency program. Senior residents are expected to ensure quality of care for each patient, to lead work rounds, participate in all conferences, and supervise the education of medical students. The profile of the third year training is tailored to meet the specific career goals of each resident.
The responsibilities, role and curriculum for preliminary PGY-I residents are identical to those of the categorical PGY-I residents with the exception that Geriatrics is not a required elective. Preliminary PGY-I residents are not required to attend Continuity Clinic (although it remains an option).
*Medicine includes GMF, Telemetry and Oncology. Call frequency is every 5-6th night.
There is no call on elective months.
