Teaching on the Inpatient Service
The faculty at Mount Auburn Hospital is committed to providing an outstanding learning environment for residents serving on the inpatient medical services. You will join a geographically based team, caring for patients on one floor along with your hospitalist attending and ancillary staff, including a dedicated case manager.
When on a general medical ward or step-down team, your attending will be a dedicated hospitalist. As a resident on the cardiology service, you will work directly alongside our cardiologists. When joining the MICU team, the teaching faculty are pulmonary/critical care intensivists. Regardless of your team, the teaching faculty provide case-based and topical didactic attending rounds, perform management rounds with the team regularly, and provide teaching and consultative services to our residents as needed.
Inpatient Rotations
The faculty at Mount Auburn Hospital is committed to providing an outstanding learning environment for residents serving on the inpatient medical services.
Nearly all of the patients admitted to the medical wards and step-down unit are admitted to the hospitalist service. The remainder are cared for by subspecialists, such as our cardiologists. All attending staff have teaching faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School.
Due to the large and growing volume of admissions to the medical service, Mount Auburn Hospital also has a non-teaching medical service. This enhances the educational experience of our residents by allowing the resident teams to be populated with varied and complex cases on the teaching services.
Year One
As a first-year resident, or intern, you’ll develop both your medical and patient communication skills as you focus on inpatient service. Most of the time, your team will include a resident, another intern, and associated medical students. You can expect the following inpatient rotations during your first year:
- General medicine
- Emergency medicine
- Medical intensive care unit
- Afternoon back-up and overnight float
- Elective
- Admitting team
Years Two & Three
As a junior or senior resident, you’ll enjoy the ability to dedicate more time to areas of interest, with three months of flexible elective team to spend in whatever way best meets your educational needs. You can expect the following inpatient rotations during your second and third years:
- Cardiology
- General medicine
- Medical intensive care unit
- Step-down unit
- Afternoon back-up and overnight float
- Electives
Learn from Harvard Faculty
On each inpatient rotation, your attending physician will be a staff member with a teaching faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School. They’ll work with you to:
- Provide case-based and topical bedside teaching through attending rounds
- Perform management rounds with the team on a regular basis
- Teach and consult as needed
Learn more about the teaching conferences and rounds you’ll attend as part of your residency.
