Mentorship Program

The new resident mentorship program will go live with the incoming class of 2017. Each resident will be randomly assigned a 2nd year as a mentor to seek advice from throughout the year. Some of responsibilities of the mentors include:

• Checking in with the mentor daily during the first few weeks of July
• Seeking advice on how to approach patient care and subspecialty/attending rounds
• Determining the level of expectations from the various services
• Asking questions related to the EMR, hospital, logistics, etc...

If any of the 3rd years are interested in providing mentorship, please comment on this post and we will assign you an intern.

Intern Orientation Week

The hospital wide incoming intern class orientation week is scheduled for Tuesday 6/24/14 -  Friday 6/27/14. The medicine intern class orientation is on Wednesday 6/25/14 (12p - 1p). Topics including work hour duties, procedure logging, logistics, and schedules will be discussed. Additionally we will have an overnight survival guide session.

All residents are encouraged to stop by for a meet and greet with the interns. Additional text pages will be sent out as reminders.

SpectraLinks and Radiology Critical Results

The radiology department has implemented means to deliver critical radiology results. We have been provided with 4 SpectraLinks (one for each team).

Platinum: 62499
Purple: 65289
Orange: 65279
Green: 65134
ICU: 65299

These phones along with the charger will be stored in the medicine supply closet (located between Green room and Orange room). One resident or intern from each team must carry their designated phone between the hours of 7am to 4pm. Once you sign out, return the phones to supply closet and keep them charged.

These phones are delicate and expensive. DO NOT LOSE THEM

When night float comes on, they will carry the team phone designated for the team on call.



Below are the instruction on retrieving critical results:

Attending/Resident Tally

Sarah has tallied up the Resident/Attending pairing for the last 2 years. This data will help us pair you with a variable amount of Attendings to maximize your exposure, this does not guarantee that you'll get your attending of choice, it is merely a guide for the Chiefs to utilize
