Inpatient Training Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a large, 890-bed quaternary care hospital. Broad exposure to diverse and unique inpatient rotations allows residents to become highly skilled at caring for patients with both common and complex medical issues. General Medicine Wards This experience allows residents to care for patients with a variety of medical issues, from the ordinary to the obscure. Most patients on this service are uninsured or have Medi-Cal, and they may not have a regular primary care physician. Attending rounds occur daily with a full-time faculty member. Advanced Heart Failure/Heart Transplant Ward This highly subspecialized service is a unique and outstanding training experience. Cedars-Sinai performs more heart transplants than any institution in the world, and this rotation provides residents exposure to this highly complex patient population as well as to our renowned cardiology faculty. This unit is served by a medical team consisting of two interns and three residents, as well as general cardiology fellows and advanced heart failure fellows. Hematology/Oncology Ward This 32-bed ward is staffed by three interns, one resident and nurse practitioners. Residents care for patients undergoing allogenic and autologous bone marrow transplants and learn how to manage complications such as neutropenic fever, tumor lysis syndrome and severe electrolyte derangements. Patient care is supervised by a fellow and a faculty hematologist/oncologist. Medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Residents have the primary responsibility of caring for critically ill medical patients in this 24-bed ICU. It is staffed by two day teams—each with two residents and two interns—as well as one night team comprising three residents. Pulmonary fellows supervise around the clock, and a separate attending staffs each day team. Cardiac ICU This 12-bed unit is staffed by two day teams—each composed of one resident and one intern—and one night team. Cardiology fellows are actively involved in patient management as well as teaching during bedside rounds and in didactic sessions. Daily rounds are supervised by the cardiology faculty. Consultation Services Internal Medicine residents will rotate through the various subspecialites of internal medicine on consultative services in the inpatient setting, including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, hematology/oncology, palliative care, infectious diseases, nephrology, pulmonology and rheumatology. Each rotation is staffed by a fellow and an attending and includes formal didactic sessions and a defined curriculum. General Medicine Wards at Harbor-UCLA Our program partners with Harbor-UCLA Medical Center to allow for clinical training at a complementary site. Thirteen interns will have the opportunity to rotate on the general medicine wards at Harbor to take care of patients in a different hospital system. Ambulatory Training Ambulatory training consists of both continuity clinic experiences every fifth week, as well as additional block rotations across a variety of ambulatory settings. Residents will be able to choose to do their continuity experiences at one of three different sites, allowing them to pick a site that most closely aligns with their career interests. During the continuity clinic week, residents will rotate through primary care and subspecialty clinics for a well-rounded ambulatory experience. During the additional block rotations, residents will experience rotations in geriatrics and urgent care, and will have the opportunity to work at a variety of our Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) partners: AIDS Project Los Angeles, Venice Family Clinic, Korean Health Education Information and Research Clinic, and the Los Angeles Christian Health Center.
