Our Dean just reiterated today that all institution-related travel is prohibited until at least July 1. We won’t be able to send anyone either.

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 Darcey!
Our residents receive 21 days, 15 weekdays and 6 weekend days, for vacation. Our PGY2 – PGY5 residents receive 7 days for elective conferences, 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days. They can apply for an additional 3 conference days if they are accepted for a podium or poster presentation at a conference.
Our PGY-4s get an additional 5 days for interviews for fellowship. If they are going directly into practice after residency, they can use those additional 5 days in their PGY-4 and PGY-5 year for employment interviews.
