Harrell, MD University of Florida College of Medicine ASSOCIATE EDITORS: Meenakshy K. Aiyer, MD University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria Joel L. Appel, DO Peter Gliatto, MD Wayne State University School of Medicine Mount Sinai School of Medicine Gurpreet Dhaliwal, MD Michelle Sweet, MD University of California, San Francisco Rush Medical College School of Medicine of Rush University INTRODUCTION Welcome to your internal medicine subinternship. We are delighted that you have joined us for this short period when you will have your first taste of what internship will be like and will experience more of what internal medicine has to offer. Regardless of your future career path, we wish you the most stimulating, rewarding, and transforming experience possible over the coming weeks. The information in this booklet has been produced through the collaboration and consensus of internal medicine subinternship directors across the country, most of whom have spent many years teaching, evaluating, and advising students. It should help fill in some common gaps in the formal medical curriculum as you begin your internship. A complimentary resource for your subinternship is the CDIM Internal Medicine Subinternship Curriculum and CDIM Internal Medicine Subinternship Training Problems, which cover more traditional medical topics commonly encountered during the internal medicine subinternship. It is available free of charge online at: www.im.org/Resources/Education/Students/Learning/CDIMsubinternshipCurriculum/Pages/defa ult.aspx Please note information provided by your subinternship director should take precedence over these suggestions.

  • Role, Responsibility and Patient Care Activities for Trainees
    SUPERVISION POLICY Roles, Responsibilities and Patient Care Activities of Clinical Fellows Training Program in Clinical Cardiac Interventional Cardiology UWMC, HMC, VAMC, NWH Definitions Resident: A physician who is engaged in a graduate training program in medicine (which includes all specialties, e.g., internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, radiology, nuclear medicine, etc.), and who participates in patient care under the direction of attending physicians (or licensed independent practitioners) as approved by each review committee. Note: The term “resident” includes all residents and fellows including individuals in their first year of training (PGY1), often referred to as “interns,” and individuals in approved subspecialty graduate medical education programs who historically have also been referred to as “fellows.” As part of their training program, residents are given graded and progressive responsibility according to the individual resident’s clinical experience, judgment, knowledge, and technical skill. Each resident must know the limits of his/her scope of authority and the circumstances under which he/she is permitted to act with conditional independence. Residents are responsible for asking for help from the supervising physician (or other appropriate licensed practitioner) for the service they are rotating on when they are uncertain of diagnosis, how to perform a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, or how to implement an appropriate plan of care. Attending of Record (Attending): An identifiable, appropriately-credentialed and privileged attending physician who is ultimately responsible for the management of the individual patient and for the supervision of residents involved in the care of the patient. The attending delegates portions of care to residents based on the needs of the patient and the skills of the residents.

  • Resident Supervision Policy Supervision of the Medical House
    Medical House Staff Training Program Columbia University Medical Center NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Resident Supervision Policy Supervision of the medical house staff in both inpatient and outpatient settings seeks to balance the need for appropriate attending physician supervision with the progressive responsibility and autonomy graduate medical residents must demonstrate by the conclusion of their training experience. Supervision of activities on the medical service falls under three broad categories depending upon the complexity of the clinical situation and/or training experience. For the purpose of defining the overall supervision policy, and based on HCFA and NYSDOH guidelines, supervision is defined as follows: 1) General Supervision: Supervision is furnished under the attending physician's overall direction and control, but the attending physician's presence is not required during the procedure or patient encounter. 2) Direct Supervision: Supervision is by an attending physician whose direct physical presence is either in the office suite or immediately available to furnish assistance and direction throughout the performance of a procedure or during a patient encounter. It does not mean that the attending physician must be present in the room when the procedure or encounter is taking place. 3) Personal Supervision: (also called Visual Supervision) Supervision by an attending physician who is in attendance in the room while the procedure or encounter is taking place. Patients admitted to the hospital fall under two broad designations, "private" and "service". Private patients have an attending of record who generally has had a long history of involvement with the specific patient and assumes professional responsibility for the care of the inpatient.
