For our inpatient Staff Medicine services, the team assignment consists of an upper level resident, two interns, an attending, and one to two medical students. In addition, there is typically a staff pharmacist and/or pharmacy resident that rounds with each medicine team daily.
Our inpatient services are all generalist admitting teams which provides outstanding case-mix diversity. All inpatient ward teams are led by an experienced clinician educator attending who is dedicated to resident teaching and mentorship.
During the inpatient ward months, we reduce the amount of continuity clinic at Myers Park for each team member to approximately two clinics per month. Residents will have heavier continuity clinic exposure during their consult and elective months throughout the year. Whenever a resident is in clinic, the inpatient and consult duties are handled by other team members and/or the attending physician to minimize disruptions to clinic workflow and patient care. We believe that our inpatient call cycle and hybrid nightfloat schedule create an optimal environment for learning while maximizing patient safety, continuity of care, and resident satisfaction.
