Responsibilities:
PGY-1 Clinic Rotation
Clinical
Overview: During the two months of PGY-1 General Pediatric Rotation resident will provide excellent patient
care through the evaluation and management of common medical problems seen in the ambulatory clinic
setting. (See further Goals and Objectives on residency website).
This can be quite a high volume rotation! During the winter, as an intern, you may see 10-15 patients in a day.
You should complete an entire history and physical exam, and formulate an assessment and plan of care, prior
to presenting. You should primarily be presenting to the third year resident.
Your goals are to learn time management in clinic and learn the skill of pertinent information gathering. If
indicated, feel free to start the work up (obtaining urine, rapid strep). Our hope is that your skills as a general
pediatrician will greatly improve after three months in clinic.
