Resident are expected to perform procedures on their patients (including arthrocentesis, paracenteses, lumbar punctures, thoracenteses, and central line placement) under the supervision of attending physicians, senior residents, and during simulation. To create these procedure opportunities, electives are offered in procedure-heavy specialties including interventional radiology, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and many more.
Formal written evaluations are completed by teaching attendings each rotation and are visible to residents via MedHub website. Resident evaluations of attending physicians are delivered to attending physicians in batches every few months to preserve anonymity of the residents providing the evaluation. Periodic reviews and feedback to residents and attending physicians are provided by the Program Director. Continuous, informal evaluation and feedback are provided from faculty and fellow residents.
Medical students from Yale and New York Medical College in addition to PA students from Yale also train at Greenwich Hospital.
