Junior Resident Medical Teaching Unit Orientation Document Foothills Medical Centre Peter Lougheed Centre Rockyview General Hospital South Health Campus Welcome to the Medical Teaching Unit (MTU) at the University of Calgary! You will receive a brief orientation on your first day depending on which site you are assigned to, but this is a detailed overview of the locations, schedules and expectations of the MTU. MTU is first and foremost a teaching unit. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team with various levels and areas of training. Formal teaching is scheduled at each site as per the schedule below. MTU patients are typically academically interesting, complex or too unstable for other services. Sometimes they are all three! Remember that your two priorities on the MTU are patient care and your education. Have fun! Last updated September 2016 A TYPICAL DAY ON THE MTU: Morning • Handover: Meet at 8 am sharp in the designated team rooms (see site specific section). Here you will meet your team, receive patient handover. • Print out a single spaced patient list and write the clerk / resident assigned for the day next to the patient name. Provide this list to the Unit Clerk (FMC Unit 36/PLC Unit 38/RGH Unit 93/SHC Unit 66). • Morning Report: site dependant • Review Admissions: Meet with your staff to review overnight admissions • See your patients: See patients in order from sickest >> those needing discharge >> least sick.
