Residents are divided into three Hospital Medicine teams on the medical floors. Each team is composed of one senior resident and two first-year residents.

  • Each team is supervised by a teaching faculty hospitalist who conducts bedside teaching rounds with each team to discuss academically challenging cases.
  • The first-year residents assume primary responsibility for patients admitted to the teaching service. They obtain a history and physical and collect lab/imaging data, and then discuss this with the senior resident to formulate a management plan. The patient's teaching attending physician oversees the plan and directs the team.
