Training> Level 3 (PGY-3)
The PGY-3 year provides the resident with extensive supervisory experience that builds on the PGY-2 foundation. The PGY-3 resident supervises one of the inpatient teams in the Children’s Medical Center and follows the progress of all patients on non-surgical services. The PGY-3 resident is responsible for organizing and conducting daily work rounds, facilitating discussion during attending rounds, providing guidance to the PGY-2 resident in their teaching role and providing direct oversight of the PGY-1s and medical students.
During the year, the PGY-3 resident continues to have exposure to a variety of pediatric subspecialties. There also are elective opportunities to work on other services in the medical center such as dermatology, orthopedics, child psychiatry or radiology. PGY-3s continue to spend one half-day per week in an assigned community pediatric practice, in addition to their one half-day in the resident continuity clinic.
The PGY-3 is on call every fourth to fifth night while on the PICU and NICU rotations. Overnight coverage for the two inpatient ward teams is provided by a night float system. Night float duties consist of supervising the PGY-1s in their critical decisions, teaching and managing one of the ward teams. The PGY-3 is also available to assist the PGY-2 who manages the other team. Each PGY-3 resident does four weeks of night float over the course of the year. In addition, the night float resident acts as a backup to assist both the NICU and PICU senior residents in the event of an emergency.
