Outstanding hospital-based training throughout your residency
The faculty at Mount Auburn Hospital is committed to providing an exceptional learning environment for residents serving on the inpatient teaching service.
Most of the time, your team will include a resident, two interns and associated medical students. Leading the team will be an attending who has a teaching faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School. The attending will:
On the general medicine service, the teaching faculty may be a primary care physician, a subspecialist or a hospitalist. On the cardiology team service, the teaching faculty are cardiologists. And on the medical intensive care unit (MICU) service, the teaching faculty are pulmonary/critical care intensivists.
Due to the large and ever-growing volume of admissions to the medical service, physician assistants at Mount Auburn Hospital cover the non-teaching medical service. This enhances the educational experience of our residents by allowing the resident teams to treat varied and complex cases on the teaching services and not be overwhelmed with more common and less acute cases.
During rotations, you’ll participate in a variety of collaborative experiences, including:
Explore each year of inpatient rotations.
The first year of training (PGY-1) is similar for categorical and preliminary pathways. As a first-year resident (intern), you’ll develop your medical and patient communication skills while focusing on inpatient service.
You can expect the following inpatient rotations during your first year:
For the MICU and cardiology services, the long admitting shift is every fourth night. For general medicine, we employ a system in which the team covers a panel of patients with some discharges and admissions to the team every day, and no overnight call.
Admissions are capped according to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines. Our longstanding float system allows interns to complete their daily work and leave the hospital at a reasonable hour.
As a resident, you’ll enjoy the ability to dedicate more time to areas of interest, with four months of flexible elective team to spend in whatever way best meets your educational needs. Residents have approximately eight months each year of inpatient service divided as follows.
One month a year is dedicated to the outpatient teaching service. The remaining months of each year are dedicated to ambulatory or flexible “elective” time.
