Complete your rotation and peer-to-peer evaluation! Otherwise you may find out that Dr. Warm has particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people who don't complete evals. If you do your evaluations now, that'll be the end of it. He will not look for you, he will not pursue you. But if you don't, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will make you complete the evaluations.

Please remember: if you are scheduled for noon report on a Friday, this is a split intern and senior report. This means that both members of the team need to be ready to present the case and learning points. Intern NR is in the noon report room, senior noon report is in the GI work room

Just a quick reminder about protocol for holdovers (both for going from long call into nights AND night into the AM). The hold overs for long call are patients called up from 7:30 - 8PM and for the night team are patients called up after 6AM. The expectation is that the resident team called will return the call to bedboard, lay eyes on the patient, and place basic skeleton orders. It is then their job to signout the patient to the oncoming team

Long-blockers, miss AAP this week? Check out the documentation resources on the website under inpatient logistics. Danielle Weber will also find another time to have a session for residents interested in finding out tricks for documentation and learning some essentials for billing.
