Our second years are expected to operate as seniors. They will be placed in charge of the department to understand ED workflow and how to delegate tasks. They are encouraged to be a part of different interdepartmental committees such as Trauma, Stroke, and Sepsis.

On other services, our residents are also expected to operate as seniors, taking charge of the service and implementing what they have learned previously.
