Oh i did! Never wanted to do the EM rotation…so i stayed out of the way and stayed in the D pod.
And not where I trained…they were treated like all the other off service rotators…we had psych residents rotate as well and they had lighter loads and easier pts as well.
And they should have attended the IM conference and not the EM ones…they were on an IM rotation…I went to the conferences of whatever rotation I was on as was required.
Again, I applaud the EM leadership… they protected their residents…to not have to manage their pts during lectures… it didn’t give them much good will amongst the other residents though…on and off service rotators alike.
Oh yes! got to love slacking by going to conference those residents are required to give lectures and take quizzes. No matter the IM rotation you can still go to morning report (except the ICU in some cases) and if residents didn't go to conference on off service they would miss it in intern year for more than half of the year.
There is no way that is tolerable in any specialty.
What offservice rotation does IM do? Clinic and all the other specialty would have to go to conference that time must be protected no matter the program or specialty.
