Curriculum - Descriptions of Rotations

Internal Medicine Inpatient Service

Residents rotate for one month on the internal medicine inpatient service at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital (SNGH).

Structure

By participating as internal medicine residents, obstetrics and gynecology interns learn to recognize the acutely ill patient, to refine individual patient evaluation and management skills in the hospital setting, and to understand the management of non-gynecologic medical problems in the inpatient setting including asthma, congestive heart failure, hypertensive emergencies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroenteritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, and urinary tract disorders.

Teaching

Residents learn through internal medical conferences, bedside teaching, and hands-on experience while caring for patients on the inpatient internal medicine service.

Supervision

The internal medicine department assigns a faculty member on a rotating basis to supervise resident activity.
