- The PGY-4 chief resident provides overall supervision of the pediatric
housestaff and medical students, arranges all duty assignments, assists in
planning portions of the teaching program, guides the residents in the
acquisition of technical and organizational skills, and evaluates the
day-to-day performance of the housestaff.
As the health care environment and requirements for residency training
programs change, the department has developed an enhanced primary care
curriculum with significant clinical exposure in the ambulatory setting. The
ambulatory care center encompasses a wide range of outpatient services.
Residents are assigned to continuity clinic for one half-day session a week.
During ambulatory care block rotations, residents have extra continuity sessions
available for scheduled and urgent care visits. Therefore, residents spend more
than 10 percent of their total training time in a primary care continuity
experience. It is during the continuity experience that the residents develop a
panel of patients that they will follow for the duration of their training.
Attendings from the section of general pediatrics supervise residents for all
patient encounters.
The schedule of the pediatric residents conforms to New York State 405
Regulations (Bell Commission) and ACGME work hour regulations. One PGY-1, one
PGY-2 and one PGY-3 serve as the night on-call team. All residents have four
weeks of vacation per academic year.
