Clinical Rotations and Call Schedule
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers a wide variety of educational opportunities throughout training. The rotations are purposefully equally balanced between Outpatient / Inpatient and Neurorehabilitation / MSK. In addition, we have maximized the number of electives to allow PGY3 residents to complete Audition Electives in pursuit of a fellowship and PGY4s to round out their education as they prepare for their unique post-residency careers.
Inpatient Calls have been spreadout throughout residency to limit burnout and promote wellness amongst the residents. We have found that having our senior residents complete call not only reduced the burdon for the junior resident but also provides them with an opportunity to teach back to the Junior residents on ways they could improve their patient care, reduce overnight pages, etc.
