Resident Responsibilites
Intern Year (PGY-1): The first year of residency is a chance for rapid learning and on-the-job training. It is the desire of the program that the intern be the primary caregiver of the team and the point of contact for nurses and families. The goal of the training program is to surround the intern with the tools and support necessary to provide outstanding care to his/her patients.
Junior Resident (PGY-2): Teaching responsibilities assume a much greater role in the second year of residency, and much of the year is spent in areas of high acuity (pediatric ICU, neonatal ICU, and pediatric ED). Subspecialty exposure is increased and residents are encouraged to pursue research, advocacy, international or fellowship interests during this time.
Senior Resident (PGY-3): Senior residents also have the opportunity to pursue career interests and serve as invaluable resources to the inpatient teams and specialty services. By serving as chiefs of the ambulatory center and leading inpatient services, senior residents enjoy great autonomy and drive much of the clinical care at Children's Hospital.
