PGY2 Critical Care residents will be exposed to the interdisciplinary health care team frequently throughout required and elective rotations. During the required rotations of MICU 1, MICU 2, SICU, Trauma and Burn, the resident will be required to participate in interdisciplinary patient care rounds, which may include participants from medicine/surgery, nursing, nutrition support services, respiratory therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work and case management.
Residents will also be exposed to interdisciplinary groups and decision-making through the committee co-chair experience, longitudinal research project and various other performance improvement projects that are assigned throughout the residency year. During the longitudinal staffing rotation, the resident will work in a de-central role and interact closely with front-line members of the above disciplines in answering drug information questions and helping to troubleshoot drug therapy problems as they arise.
