Each resident team is assigned a staff consultant who coordinates educational exercises and supervises surgical and outpatient experiences. The attending staff allow for progressively increasing responsibility for each resident, consistent with the individual resident’s level of achievement, medical knowledge, technical skill and judgement. Attending staff are present in the hospital 24 hours a day and provide immediate supervision to resident staff as needed.
