Curriculum

Residents at Saint Joseph Hospital manage patients on inpatient rotations in General Internal Medicine, Critical Care, and Oncology. The pathology seen is very diverse and while residents are given plenty of autonomy, there are always hospitalists and intensivists available in-house 24/7. Electives opportunities exist at Saint Joseph Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, National Jewish Health, and the University of Colorado. Categorical residents will follow and manage a panel of patients in the Caritas Clinic, a charitable clinic for the underserved. Residents will typically have one full day of clinic twice a month.

All rotations strictly adhere to the guidelines and work hour regulations of the American College of Graduate Medical Education.

*Wards include a combination of Kaiser Permanente, MiM and FIT services.

General Medicine Kaiser Ward Rotation

There are four inpatient Kaiser ward teams at Saint Joseph Hospital. Each house staff team consists of one senior resident (PGY II or III) supervising one intern (PGY I). All teams will also have either a third or fourth year medical student, and some may have both. Medical student education is taken very seriously and this gives the residents abundant opportunities to teach. Residents are responsible for the care of patients from admission to discharge, and are the primary providers for the patients. Residents are supervised by a teaching attending who manages patients and conducts teaching rounds with the house staff team. Teams take "long call" every sixth night, triaging new admissions to the various Ward teams until 9:00 p.m.; there is no overnight call. Overnight admissions are the responsibility of the Night Float team, which transfers the care of these patients to the Ward teams in the morning.

Night Float Rotation

There is one Night Float team on service every month, consisting of one supervising resident (PGY II or III) and three interns (PGY I). The supervising resident works 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Sunday, a supervising resident from an elective covers this shift according to a schedule made by the Chief Resident. Interns rotate through two days of 3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., two days of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., and two days off. The team is responsible for cross-cover management of inpatients on the teaching services and for new admissions. Supervision of the Night Float team is by the admitting attending physician for each specific patient.

Midtown Inpatient Medicine (MiM) Rotation/Faculty Inpatient Team (FIT) Rotation

This team consists of a senior resident (PGY II or III) supervising one intern (PGY I). All teams will also have either a third or fourth year medical student, and often times, both. Medical student education is taken very seriously and this gives the residents abundant opportunities to teach. Residents on the FIT team are responsible for admission and ongoing care of patients from the Caritas Clinic (our resident-run clinic), and "unassigned" patients from the Emergency Department in collaboration with the MiM team. The FIT team also provides medical consultations for other specialties in the hospital. The team is supervised by one of the core Internal Medicine Faculty. The FIT team is in house daily, but has no overnight call. The Night Float team covers cross-cover issues and new admissions overnight.

Intensive Care Unit Rotation

Three critical care teams are on service each month at Saint Joseph Hospital, consisting of a senior resident (PGY II or III) supervising one intern (PGY I), and frequently one subintern (MS IV). Residents are the primary caretakers of patients in the Intensive Care Unit, responsible for admission and ongoing management. The teams rotate through ten day shifts followed by five night shifts. The day teams alternate rounding and on-call, with the on-call team triaging admissions during the day until 8:00 p.m., and the rounding team helping with admissions and patient care until no later than 1:00 p.m. The night call team arrives at 8:00 p.m. and is responsible for new admission and cross-coverage until 7:00 a.m., but stays until 9:00 a.m. to complete their work, to check-out to the day teams, and to participate in teaching rounds. The long-call and night call teams respond to and manage all adult Medical Resuscitation Alerts calls, and all Rapid Response Team calls in the hospital. When patients transfer out of the ICU, one of the floor teams assumes their care. Formal teaching/management rounds are made each weekday with both a Kaiser Permanente and National Jewish Health Intensivist. Bedside ultrasound is taught and frequently utilized. During this month the residents do not have responsibilities at the Caritas Clinic.

Oncology Medicine Rotation

One Oncology team is on service each month, consisting of one senior resident (PGY II or III) supervising one intern (PGY I). Residents are supervised by both Oncologists and Internal Medicine Hospitalists, who help direct the day-to-day care of individual patients, as well as performing bedside teaching rounds daily during weekdays. Multi-disciplinary rounds occur daily with the treatment team and Palliative Care service. The Oncology team is in house daily but does not take call and there is no overnight call. The Night Float team covers cross-cover issues and new admissions.

Caritas Clinic Ambulatory Rotation

Every month there are 2 or 3 categorical residents rotating at the Caritas Clinic. Residents take care of patients with acute illness, follow-up on hospital discharges, and are trained in how to perform numerous joint injections, skin biopsies, and cryotherapy. Time is also allotted to teaching residents about specific ambulatory care topics and all residents learn about malpractice at Colorado's largest malpractice insurance carrier. Residents may also be given protected time to develop and implement a quality-improvement project at the Caritas Clinic.

Emergency Medicine Rotation

All categorical residents and preliminary interns that require an Emergency Medicine month will rotate in our Emergency Medicine Department. Residents are responsible for assessing patients as they enter the Emergency Department, formulating and implementing the plan of care, and discharging them appropriately. Residents work on a shift schedule, and are supervised by Emergency Medicine attending physicians.

Elective Rotations

Elective months are available to all residents in each year of training. Residents have numerous options for their elective months, allowing them to tailor their training to their interests. Elective rotations are available in all specialties, and are offered at Saint Joseph Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, National Jewish Health, and the University of Colorado. Residents may also arrange unique elective months to suit their own educational goals; these include research electives and electives in rural, out-of-state, or international settings.

Didactics

The Internal Medicine Residency Program provides an extensive series of weekday conferences in general internal medicine, medical subspecialties, and related disciplines. The goal of the conferences is to provide an intellectual atmosphere conducive to the acquisition of medical knowledge, and the interchange of ideas relevant to the management of internal medicine patients.

Afternoon Report

Afternoon Report, typically facilitated by the Program Director, is a clinically-directed conference where residents present 2 patient cases from the inpatient services. Laboratory values, imaging, and electrocardiograms are reviewed and appropriate management and clinical decision-making is discussed with an emphasis on evidence-based medicine and high-value care. Residents are required to review a key teaching point about each patient that is presented.

Ultrasound Conference

Ultrasound Conference is held several times a month. Attendees practice and enhance their skills in image interpretation. Periodically, there is also a combined EKG/Ultrasound conference.

Noon Conference

Noon Conferences are held daily and include lectures in all specialties with an emphasis on core Internal Medicine topics. Additional educational opportunities include Medicine Grand Rounds, Clinical-Pathological Conference, and Morbidity & Mortality Conference.

Clinic Conferences

Clinic conferences focusing on common ambulatory medicine topics are held daily by a core faculty member in the Caritas Clinic. This is protected learning time and occurs before the residents are scheduled to see patients.

Simulation Lab

Residents get formal training on the use of ultrasound in performing routine procedures such as central lines, thoracentesis, paracentesis, radial arterial lines and lumbar puncture. Residents also receive formal training in intraosseous line placement, bedside diagnostic ultrasound, airway management, and how to run a code/rapid response.

Journal Club

Journal Club is held monthly to review and critique meaningful scientific articles in Internal Medicine. Each meeting is focused on a specific sub-specialty in Internal Medicine (e.g. Cardiology). Articles are reviewed and presented by senior residents (PGY II and III), followed by a discussion with 1 or 2 expert sub-specialists, Internal Medicine Faculty, and an expert statistician. Residents learn evidence-based medicine and how to interpret the literature with a focus on both statistical significance and clinical relevance.

Professor's Rounds

Professor's Rounds are conducted with each inpatient team monthly by the Program Director for in-depth discussion of specific cases. In the Intensive Care Unit, daily rounds are made with Pulmonary critical care specialists. On the ward teams, attending rounds occur daily with an assigned teaching attending.

Intern Lecture Series

During the first month, the intern lecture series will be provided by upper-level residents. Topics during this series include discussions addressing commonly encountered conditions in the hospital and how to manage these issues while on call.

To access Intern Lecture Series materials, please visit The Landing (login required).

Scholarly Activity

Residents are encouraged to participate in clinical and basic research projects throughout their training. Each resident is assigned to a Faculty mentor who is available to assist in developing projects. Saint Joseph Hospital has opportunities for physicians to conduct clinical research (see figure below for available resources.) For those residents interested in the basic sciences, research may be conducted through our relationship with National Jewish Health, or through our affiliation with the University of Colorado.

Residents who perform research are given the opportunity to present their work at multiple venues. Residents are given financial support and coverage to be able to present their work regionally or nationally. Residents most commonly present their scholarly work at The American College of Physicians (ACP), Society of General Internal Medicine, and Hospital Medicine Symposium meetings. Over the past 20 years, Saint Joseph Hospital has an outstanding track record for being selected to present at the National ACP Meeting.
