Hi Erin!
I’ve attached our administrative handbook for our incoming PGY-1s. Numbering and alphabetical order looks off in pdf format, but it’s intended for double sided printing and folding. I meet with the new residents to review the content and answer any initial questions. Our current PGY-1 residents have a “survival guide” that is handed down from class to class, and I am not privy to that! They distribute that directly to the incoming class. Our chief residents also do an orientation a few days before the start of the academic year, their “skull session”, which covers call schedules and switches, the holiday schedule, transitions of care, didactic conference etiquette and expectations (professionalism)

Hope this helps to get you started!

Hi Kim!
The original file was in Publisher, so I’ve attached that in case you have that software. But I have also converted it to Rich Text Format so you can at least get the text. Neither RTF nor Word kept the images, and the Word conversion was a little quirky!
