UCH Burn

DH TACS
UCH Vascular
Great experience with getting to sew vessels. Be in the OR as much as you can with any of the surgeons especially the open procedures (AVF, bypass)
UCH TACS
-As the two you handle all of the consults. A and B alternate taking call, A takes call on odd days, B on even
-Get pager and signout from overnight resident at 6am in the SICU
-Typically around noon a PA will come in for the swing shift. They will often take the pager and help finish up any remaining details. After this is a good time to attempt to make it to the OR
-If you are not on call you will cover clinic on Monday and wednesdays. Monday pm (6th floor surgery area) are uncomplicated post-op patients (appy, gallbladder) that you will not staff. Wednesday am are more complicated follow-ups or pre-ops that are staffed with an attending.
-Tuesday am you will present all of your SICU inpatients on 'big boy' multi-disciplinary rounds in the ICU starting at 0830. If you are on call you NEED to give the pager to a PA as there is no escape from these rounds.
UCH Breast
Dr. Ahrendt you will retract and close skin. Expect her to pimp you on all aspects of the procedure and literature
Dr. Tevis
Dr. Kounalakis- unfortunately leaving. Does a mix of breast and melanoma excision. Will let you do as much as you are capable of in the OR
In past years the 3 and the two have alternated: two weeks with Ahrendt/Murphy and two weeks with Dr. Kounalakis. Unclear how this will change with the addition of the two to the white service and Kounalakis leaving.
Friday is breast conference. There are cases presented and pimped on. Know the studies sent out at the beginning of the rotation. Additionally you may be asked to present an article.
UCH SICU
Q4 call, afternoon teaching. Will get one “platinum” weekend your third weekend in which you will be post call friday, off sat/sun and pre-call monday
Splitting into two teams so unclear how this will affect things. Less acute than DGICU but more time for didactic education
