How are residents viewed by staff in other departments of the institution?
This is a common question we receive from candidates who are concerned about the way FM residents are treated in academic medical centers, and they will only get an answer they may believe when they come for an interview and talk with our residents directly. It is our feeling that the high quality of our residents over the years has built a strong reputation among their colleagues in the institutions where we work, and that there is an expectation for strong clinical skills in the FM residents. Accordingly, we feel that the other departments treat their off-service FM residents as equal members of whatever team they are on.
