Theodore Strange, M.D. (right), Associate Chairman of Medicine, reviews patient care plans with residents.
The internal medicine faculty is comprised of full-time and part-time on site attending
physicians as well as a large cadre of private practitioners. The division is responsible
for the vast majority of the general medical bedside teaching for both residents and
students. The attending of record for each patient reviews the daily care with the resident
assigned to the case, which provides the necessary supervision required to render high
quality patient care.
The teaching venues on our general medical floors include a 30-45 minute morning report,
a onehour attending rounds and a 30-minute signout report. Each of these academic settings
has its own design and mission for teaching. During these meetings, residents and students
present their patient cases and are encouraged to lead the discussion. A review of relevant
literature is also accomplished at these times.
Residents on the general medical service learn how to effectively care for a patient from
the initial acute phase of the patient's admission all the way through the discharge
process. Besides gaining a wealth of clinical knowledge, the residents are also taught the
proper utilization of resources, the creation of a discharge summary, the correct writing
of the patient's discharge summary and how to function as a member of the treatment team.
A student elective is available for SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn students only.
