Teaching Methods Procedures will be learned on the inpatient rotations, and during Emergency Medicine and ambulatory rotations. Knowledge competency will be attained via directed teaching from supervising attendings or residents, and from self study, including the use of the New England Journal of Medicine video series. ACLS is taught during intern orientation and all residents are required to be certified prior to beginning. There are also quarterly review sessions during the resident noon conference series. Procedures to be Learned The resident will develop knowledge and performance competency of the procedures listed below. The resident will develop the knowledge to understand and explain the indications, contraindications, recognition and management of complications, pain management, sterile techniques, specimen handling, interpretation of results, and requirements and knowledge to obtain informed consent.

Residents will be provided the opportunity to achieve knowledge and procedural competency in the following procedures if the resident identifies that the procedure is relevant to future practice:
Patient Characteristics There is a diverse patient population, male and female, of all ages from adolescent to geriatric, representing most ethnic and racial backgrounds, from all social and economic strata. The resident will only perform procedures on patients on the teaching service unless they are rotating in the Emergency Department, in a private physican’s office and performing the procedure in that setting (e.g., arthrocentesis during the orthopedic surgery elective), or in the setting of an ACLS protocol.
