Residents have rotations in Inpatient Medicine in all 3 years.
In their first year, residents rotate with the Family Medicine service as well as with the hospitalist service at Providence St Peter Hospital in Olympia, WA.
In their 2nd and 3rd years, residents rotate with the hospitalist service at
Providence Centralia Hospital in Centralia, WA. This includes an open 6-bed ICU, so residents can gain additional experience
caring for complex critically ill patients. To help with the transition
and adjust to the hospital services at PCH, PGY-3 residents may spend
two weeks dedicated to a "Medical Supervision" rotation where
they work with PGY-2 residents helping them navigate the ins and outs
of inpatient medicine rotations at PCH. This allows for a 1:1 teaching
and mentoring opportunity between residents. After hours community call
for clinic patients may overlap inpatient medicine rotation during PGY-3 year.
Elective Opportunities: At Providence Centralia Hospital, residents have the opportunity to participate in inpatient procedural skills during their rotations or with additional elective time.
