What is it like to work in a hospital system that is not dependent on residents?
This is an ideal training center for motivated, independent learners. Residents are not required to take every admission that comes in just because someone has to. Instead, the majority of cases will be selected for their learning and teaching value. Residents here enjoy one-on-one interactions with attendings who are chosen by residents for their skill and interest in teaching. Another benefit of this model is that the residents are not dependent upon each other. If someone is ill or needs to take a leave of absence, the other residents do not have to shift over to cover additional services. Additionally, residents can leave most services to deliver a continuity obstetrics patient without having to arrange coverage.
