PEER TO PEER INTERN GUIDE

Welcome to residency and your intern year at WVU! Though nothing quite prepares you for your intern year we hope that this guide will help with the transition. As you probably have seen, and will soon know, the intern's job is to gather information, take the first call for patient issues and consultations and manage the floor. A big part of your year will be learning how to become more efficient with day to day intern roles. For all services, these roles include pre-rounding on the service, writing notes, ensuring all notes are written, cleaning up orders including medication lists and ordering any labs or imaging studies for the following day. These guides are meant to help with the specifics of each service. We hope this serves you well!

? Dr. Szoka likes you to demonstrate proficiency at the

endostitch in the SIM lab prior to her allowing you to stitch on the bypass anastomosis

? Dr. Abunnaja does laparoscopic free hand tying all

the time, so you should practice in the SIM lab prior/ during your rotation. Feel free to ask him for assistance as he is always very willing to help improve the residents' laparoscopic skills.

? The intern is expected to attend at least one scope

day and one clinic day in their month and more if free to do so.
