Experience: This review concerns CTU 6. The residents were supportive and taught interns extensively.
Advantages: Rounds are short, usually from 9 to 11.
Tips: Attend and present during morning meetings. See and present new patients, write notes, and ask a resident to demonstrate the process when needed.
Experience: This felt like the least educational general-surgery rotation. There were few opportunities to gain skills or knowledge because the team had limited time for teaching.
Disadvantages: The respondent found little educational value in the rotation.
Experience: To be honest I heard worse than my own experience. In a nutshell, it’s like any other specialty! The rounds start at 9 or 10 and finish at 11 or 12. One day per week you have to stay until 4 for H&P. Clinics are very hectic!
1- Rounds: Every day. You should come and take 2-3 patients to present. Starts at 9 or 10 and ends at 12 or 1. You have to come early to prepare and see the patients physically; I used to come at 8.
2- Clinics: After the rounds finish, you are free to attend the OR or clinics.
3- On-calls: 2-3 * Weekday on-calls are from 4 PM to 8 AM. Most teams had a pre- and post-call off; however, our team had to attend the pre-call rounds, so 24 hours in the hospital. You will be assigned to either wards or L&D. * Weekend on-calls are either 8 AM to 8 PM or 8 PM to 8 AM. You will be assigned to both wards and L&D. Please be aware of that since many interns didn’t know about it.
4- Admissions: * From each team, one person should stay until 4 to write H&Ps. * You can find a comfortable place to stay and call to check if there is any H&P or general consent for your team. * At 2:30 you can ask the nurses if they are expecting any admission. ER cases usually take an hour or more to arrive, so if there are no cases you can go. Don’t wait until 4 if you are sure no one is coming. If not, please stay because the on-call cases are many.
Disadvantages: The oncalls!!! You can’t even take 5 minutes break
Tips: Tips for Oncall: * It is very important for the one who is responsible for the admissions during the day to make sure that AlL the cases have H/P.. so the oncall will be less hectic for his/her colleagues * Make sure to write the note under IP not OP using admission format.. if u don’t your colleagues will have to rewrite it. * Make sure to Co-sign the MRP.. if u don’t, also your college will have to rewrite it. * Your role in the Oncall is to write H/P only. You will not have any brakes unfortunately.. to many cases!!
التجربة: خفيف لطيف، التحضير بتوقيع، يحتاج نسوي برزنتيشن نهاية الشهر ونحضر السشنز اللي يسوونها
الإيجابيات: بيئه لطيفه متعاونه، كل ثلاثاء يغدونكم، مافي مناوبه
النصائح: مروا على اللي بيقيمكم كذا مره عشان يعرف انكم موجودين
Experience: They expect you to perform ventilation and intubation only. Some residents may ask you to prepare medications with them, and sometimes you may not do anything, especially in difficult cases. You need to arrive between 7:30 and 7:45. After induction, you can leave for a break (usually 40 minutes) or go home, depending on the consultants and residents. Similar to the clinical attachment in COM, you must be signed off at the end of the day.
Advantages: Maximum at 11:30-12:00 you can leave. Often, you may finish between 10:00 and 11:00, and occasionally as early as 9:00.
Experience: Only inpatient rounds, no OR, no clinics, no on-calls. Inpatient: mostly depends on the assistant consultant on service, but generally rounds starts around 9:30-10 and ends by 12-12:3. You will have 1-2 patients (if the team are busy you may have 3 max), you are required to assess them daily and write progress note. In case your patients need consultations you will do them, and if the team busy you may do consultation for other patients as well. Overall all associates/assistants I worked with were very respectful and kind.
Advantages: Low patients load, no ORs or oncalls. And for sure short working hours.
Tips: If you have an exam during your rotation tell them from the beginning, they are very understanding
Experience: cooperative and understanding Team Even if your not interested you'll learn alot
Advantages: Very thorough with their tasks great especially to those interested, but generally you will learn the basics at least
Disadvantages: Long rounds, heavy workload
Tips: Just be respectful (generally very lenient)
Experience: Light team, neutral experience (not bad), basic IM experience.
Advantages: - Very light workload; rounds start at 9 and finish at 10-11, and you can go home afterward. - The senior may ask you to write notes sometimes, but not if you’re not interested. - The juniors I was with were very helpful and didn’t ask for help at all.
Disadvantages: - You HAVE to sign attendance every day before 9 AM. - You have to give notice of leave to the senior or she will call you. - Very boring if you’re not interested ☺️..🌹 مع احترامي
Tips: The chief resident told us to have good attitude In general and show interest to the team and be involved more. Not interested so I don’t know..
Experience: It was good overall. The residents were smart and active, and they weren’t really expecting that much from an intern, especially if you are not interested. They were friendly and helpful. I had very light working hours, starting from 9 AM until 12-1 PM on average. They were really cooperative overall.
Advantages: Residents !! Especially the juniors consultants as well
Disadvantages: Complex cases to be honest
Tips: Please Show good attitude even if you are not interested!! This will really help you get better treatment from the residents!!
Experience: It was very nice
Advantages: Very nice and respectful doctors. Each week will be attached with a resident and they will ask you if you are interested or not sometimes if you are not interested they will not let you attend (to help you have time to study SMLE) and if you don’t like OR you can tell them and they will put you in clinics so overall the doctors are very considerate. There were no oncalls and the working hours are short and there was plenty of time to study. No sign in/ out.
Tips: You can easily catch their attention if you are interested you can tell the residents and they will help you. In my case, I wasn’t interested so I did not care that much.
