population and a different system of operation. The experience is similar
to that of the G1 year, with more opportunity for procedures and management
of critically ill patients.

trauma patients while you are on call. Responsibilities include management
of SICU patients. Call is every 4th night.
Orthopedics
This rotation is composed of 3-10 hour clinical shifts in the ED where you function as the primary Orthopedic care provider. The resident "consults and manages" all patients with orthopedic issues, including but not limited to fractures, dislocations, joint aspirations, and tendon repairs. Additionally, residents are involved in all procedural sedations performed during their shift. A 1/2 day Sports Medicine clinic experience is included after conferences on Thursday afternoon. Call is every Friday for coverage of orthopedic patients in the ED requiring procedural intervention.
Neurosurgery
As a trauma center widely-recognized for its neurosurgical care, neurosurgical
emergencies from all over the state are transferred to HCMC. As a member
of the neurosurgery team, you will consult on, diagnose and treat all
neurosurgical
emergencies. This is an intense SICU experience, in which you will also
become skilled
at reading spine films and head CT scan. Your critical care skills grow
tremendously during this rotation.
