Residents’ Life
 |
|
Learning the "Ropes" |
The internship is the
hardest year among the three but be assured that you will have lots of
fun. Every day is a learning day. Intern survival lectures in the first
few days of internship, in addition to one month of orientation, prepare
the interns to be more self-sufficient and comfortable conducting their
daily tasks.
Faculty and senior
residents are always available, supportive and friendly. Monthly
resident support group, with our behavioral medicine faculty, provides a
secure and supporting environment to commiserate about stressors both in
the hospital and outside.

Learning "Orthopedics" |
The next two years of
residency are totally different. Residents will have more
responsibilities in supervising interns and teaching medical students.
Hours are more flexible and residents spend three to four half days at
GFP seeing their continuity patients. Residents have more spare time to
enjoy Hampton Roads. |
