 * Plan to arrive about an hour or so before rounds, which varies depending on attending.
 * Morning report is at 10:30am in the conference room in the library on the 1st floor. Read the news headlines before you go.

 * Call is q4 and you can expect to be there until 6-10pm or so that day, then be back early the next morning and be ready for sit-down rounds in the physician's lounge at 7:30am. It helps if you finish your H&P the night before.
 * The residents tend to be pretty happy because the patient load is so much lower than at many of the other hospitals, so it is usually a more relaxing month for them = good for you!
 * At the same time, if you aren't getting to see enough patients, ask to see other patients and always have something to read as you may have a lot of downtime.
