Transcript

• 00:04Hi. I'm Elizabeth. I'm a
• 00:05PGY four, and I'm currently
• 00:07the general senior on the
• 00:08neurology team. Hi. I'm Ian.
• 00:11I'm a PGY two in
• 00:12the adult neurology program. I'm
• 00:14currently the junior on the
• 00:15general neurology service. So our
• 00:17general neurology service is our
• 00:19primary inpatient service, and we
• 00:20see a range of different
• 00:21neurologic issues, including patients with
• 00:24refractory seizures,
• 00:25patients with autoimmune disorders like
• 00:28MS or Tinnell,
• 00:30patients with neuromuscular disorders including
• 00:32myasthenia,
• 00:33a wide range of things.
• 00:35So my role includes, basically
• 00:37being the primary contact for
• 00:38all the patients on, that
• 00:40I'm covering on the service.
• 00:41So, I get here early
• 00:42to to get sign out
• 00:44from the night team. I
• 00:45pre round on my patients
• 00:46and present them during rounds.
• 00:48I also place orders during
• 00:50the day, talk to families,
• 00:53overall coordinate their care throughout
• 00:55the day. As general,
• 00:57senior, I supervise a team
• 00:58of residents as well as
• 01:00working with our APPs, which
• 01:02are really a core part
• 01:03of our team. We also
• 01:04have medical students that rotate
• 01:06on our service. And an
• 01:08exciting part of the role
• 01:09for me is that I
• 01:10get to really practice thinking
• 01:11like an attending.
• 01:13So I work with an
• 01:14attending who is a great
• 01:15kind of, mentor to ask
• 01:17questions to, but I try
• 01:18to put myself in the
• 01:19role of what would I
• 01:20do if I were an
• 01:21independent,
• 01:22provider leading this team.
• 01:24This is one of the
• 01:25first rotations that you do
• 01:26during your PGY two year.
• 01:28You work with the general
• 01:29senior and the attending to
• 01:30to learn the the basics
• 01:32of the fun most fundamental
• 01:34neurologic diseases,
• 01:35that we will see in
• 01:36the hospital.
• 01:38One of the great things
• 01:39about our residency and having
• 01:40a balance with the inpatient
• 01:42general neurology service in our
• 01:43outpatient clinics, that you really
• 01:45get to see the whole
• 01:46arc of someone's disease process.
• 01:48And a lot of people
• 01:49we treat in the hospital,
• 01:50we then see later in
• 01:51clinic who are doing better,
• 01:53who are on medication that
• 01:54helps them. And it's really
• 01:56inspiring to see the long
• 01:58term positive outcomes that can
• 02:00happen from work with starting
• 02:01from happening in the hospital.
• 02:03I really enjoy getting to
• 02:04know the patients and their
• 02:04families,
• 02:06talking to them every day,
• 02:07helping them through their diagnosis,
• 02:09and
• 02:10coordinating their care for their
• 02:12entire time in the hospital.
