What is the attending coverage like in the ED?

0

At least one attending is available in the ED 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are always easily accessible for questions or problems. Every case is discussed with the attending at some point prior to discharge or admission, and the attending physically sees every patient. For junior residents, cases are presented early, and the attending takes a more active roll in the work-up, treatment and disposition decisions. Senior residents are given more liberty and may have disposition already arranged prior to discussing the case.
