Interns have primary case responsibility from day one. When rotating through the emergency service interns are always accompanied by a staff doctor including holidays and overnights. Interns receive and manage their own new cases while on ER but they are not expected to manage other cases (we have a dedicated ER doctors for that).
In addition to a breadth of Specialty Service exposure as part of each interns schedule elective time is available to each intern which can be used to pursue educational opportunities at other Thrive hospitals or beyond. In years past interns have used this time to attend conferences spend time with an ophthalmologist or dermatologist or learn more about physical rehabilitation. Funding for offsite rotations and continuing education is provided on a case by case basis.
