I start an IM rotation on Monday at Trumbull. This site so far appears to be a great site according to the students currently doing their rotations here. It is green book and offers all the cores. There is one on one with the medical staff. One attending to each student. We get labcoats with our names stitched into it. It appears to be a great teaching facility that allows the students to be 100% hands-on. We get to do alot of procedures and are primarily responsible for most of the patients. The staff are very friendly and happy to teach. After I officially begin my rotations, I will post more info about this site.

How did your rotation go at Trumbull? I'm trying to do a little research into the hospitals before scheduling my rotations.

Rotations are going very well so far. I have completed the following rotations here at Trumbull: IM, Surgery, and Peds.

Internal Medicine
This was my favorite rotation here. I was giving the opportunity to work directly with an excellent attending physician. I learned a great deal about the business of running a clinic as well as treating patients in the hospital. I learned how to write progress notes, orders, SOAP notes, and prescriptions. The staff was friendly and willing to teach.

Surgery
This was an intense rotation. I learned a great deal about general surgery, trauma, and critical care. I also worked at the outpatient surgical center. Like in internal medicine, I worked mainly with an attending physician who was the director of trauma services. At most 3 students per attending. I was on call some weeks and was required to carry beepers like the surgeons did. I did a lot of the work of a surgical resident. I learned how to staple, suture, and place in Foley catheters.

Pediatrics
This rotation was good. I also worked with an attending physician who has been in practice as long as I have been alive. I learned how to perform neonatal examinations, treat patients both in hospital and in a clinic, read pediatric EKGs, and perform echo exams.

I will be doing most of my core rotations except psychiatry here at Trumbull. I will post more as I complete them.

Is there anything to do around there?

[rochemd]

Truth be told not really. Pittsburgh and Cleveland are both about 1 and 1/2 hours away. There are things to do there.
