Children's Hospital Colorado Resident Rotation
Welcome from Dr. Mason
Welcome to the Pediatric/Craniofacial Rotation. The goal is to provide you with intentional instruction through bedside rounds, outpatient clinic experiences, operative experiences, and teaching conferences. Please be prepared to own the service. Please come well read and prepared for each experience.
Note that all four sites are now able to offer operative experiences to residents. These include the Anschutz campus, North campus (Broomfield), Highlands Ranch, and Colorado Springs. It is the resident's responsibility in collaboration with our advanced practice provider(s) to assure that the service and day call are covered when the resident is off the Anschutz campus and/or on vacation. Any challenges should be brought to Dr. Mason's attention on Monday of the work week.
With current staffing, patient volumes, and access to all sites, all resident index cases should be obtained without difficulty. It is the resident's responsibility to be aware of the numbers needed, where they stand in meeting those requirements, and have a fluid line of communication with Dr. Mason if challenges present in obtaining those numbers.
