Procedure Rotation
The department has created a unique Procedure Rotation for PGY-1 residents
to provide an early, focused experience in performing procedures central
to the care of medical patients.
Each PGY-1 resident participates in this robust
two-week experience during the first six months of residency training.
The specific aims of this rotation are to:
- Expand knowledge, skills, and comfort with airway management
- Become competence in performing central line placement, paracentesis, thoracentesis,
blood drawns and other procedures.
- Develop specific knowledge relating to the risks, contraindications and
complications of common internal medicine procedures.
- Practice bedside point-of-care ultrasound one-on-one with a skilled instructor.
The rotation provides physicians-in-training the opportunity to move toward
independent practice of medicine.
