Residency Program

About our Hospitals

John Sealy Hospital

We have reorganized our hospital service to continue providing continuity of care for our patients while improving resident education and effective time use. There will be two teams comprised of three residents each - two upper levels and a first-year resident. The team's first-year and second-year residents will provide direct patient care, managing their own patients with assistance from the team's supervising third year resident. The third-year resident will oversee the team's educational opportunities and provide support as needed. Students from the UTMB medical school, other medical schools, and the physician assistant program rotate through the inpatient service, providing an opportunity to expand learning in another direction.

Morning report is at 7:30 every weekday morning. The night float team will give a brief history of the overnight admissions, and select a case to present for discussion and review with faculty facilitation. The night float consists of two upper-level residents who manage the hospital service from 6 pm to 8 am in two week blocks, twice a year during the second and third years. Faculty will remain in-house until 10pm to provide resident teaching and to supervise procedures.

Overnight call for first-year residents is rotation-dependent, but approximately one-third the rotations will have every third to fourth night call.
