  • 00:04I'm James. I'm one of
  • 00:05the PGY4 neurology residents.
  • 00:07One of our clinical sites
  • 00:08is St. Rayfield's Hospital.
  • 00:10It's located down the street
  • 00:11from the main Yale Hospital
  • 00:13and it's a little bit
  • 00:14more of a community hospital
  • 00:15type environment.
  • 00:17We run a consult service
  • 00:19there
  • 00:20and
  • 00:21you don't cover stroke codes
  • 00:22you just cover inpatient consult
  • 00:23and ED consult. One really
  • 00:25big advantage of this location
  • 00:27is that you're working
  • 00:29one resident one on one
  • 00:30with an attending so there's
  • 00:31a lot of opportunity for
  • 00:33direct supervision.
  • 00:34The attendant can watch you
  • 00:35do your physical exam really
  • 00:37closely,
  • 00:38watch you take a history
  • 00:39really closely,
  • 00:41and it's a little bit
  • 00:41more of a
  • 00:43close resident and attending
  • 00:46team than you would have
  • 00:47on other services.
  • 00:50You rotate at SRC as
  • 00:51a PGY2 and a PGY3
  • 00:53so it's also a really
  • 00:54good opportunity
  • 00:56to dive in with taking
  • 00:58ownership of the consult earlier
  • 01:00on in your
  • 01:01neurology residency training.
  • 01:03At St. Ray Fields again
  • 01:05you follow mostly inpatient consults
  • 01:07and ED consults and it
  • 01:08tends to be some of
  • 01:09the more bread and butter
  • 01:10neurology so it's a really
  • 01:11good opportunity to learn those
  • 01:13basic cases earlier on in
  • 01:14your training.
