Inpatient Adult Medicine

Our adult medicine teaching service (AMTS) is our own medical service where our residents care primarily for residency clinic patients who are in the hospital. The service is a great opportunity to foster continuity of care. We offer consult services to other admitting specialists as well. Overnight, we have the unique opportunity to work with the hospitalist service, comprised of FM and IM physicians in equal parts, and staffed by several graduates from our own program. It offers you a mentorship opportunity under a variety of practicing styles.

We follow our patients across any acuity of care, including the intensive care unit, remaining engaged while patients are in the ICU and the primary service for patients in intermediate care and cardiac critical care units. We are lucky to have a strong working and mentoring relationship with our intensivist team.

Resident physicians on the AMTS are simultaneously responsible for leadership of the interprofessional team that provides code blue coverage for the entire hospital.

Our daily rounds on AMTS are multidisciplinary and involve our pharmacy students/residents. These are invaluable to our learning and staying up to date on most recent guideline directed medical care as well as providing a safety net with monitoring of medication orders including dosing and potential interactions.
