PGY-3 Goals:At this point in the program, the resident should have gained sufficient knowledge and experience to more actively direct the care of patients. On some rotations the third-year resident will be directly responsible to a chief resident or to the attending faculty. Extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient care continues at this level, as well as increasing experience in the operating room. Cases increase in number and in complexity during this year, providing the resident with the background necessary to enter the senior resident years (four and five). |
