WakeMed Medicine Teaching Service听
Opened in 1961 as the Memorial Hospital of Wake County, WakeMed Health and Hospitals in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a 941-bed, private, not-for-profit health system serving the population of Raleigh and surrounding communities. WakeMed exposes our residents to a complex tertiary community hospital system with stand-alone EDs, a medical staff of employed and private physicians, and a strong history and tie to the neighboring community.
With just over 53,000 discharges in 2018, WakeMed also challenges residents to deliver efficient and effective medical care. Medicine residents typically spend 4-8 weeks each year at WakeMed and rotate though one of four general medicine teaching teams. As the region鈥檚 safety net hospital, WakeMed serves a large portion of the uninsured and underserved, which comprise a significant portion of a heterogeneous patient population on the housestaff teams. Residents also have exposure to a significant number of neurology cases, new diagnosis of malignancy, and alcohol-related disease including complicated withdrawal at WakeMed.
Three of the medicine teams are composed of one resident and one intern and staffed with WakeMed hospitalist attendings. The fourth team, the Resident-Attending Service, is composed of a single resident and is designed to provide PGY2 and PGY3 residents an opportunity to practice with significant autonomy and a minimal supervisory role. WakeMed nights are staffed by a resident and intern.听
WakeMed鈥檚 faculty has trained 大象传媒 students and residents for over 45 years. Approximately thirty percent of the WakeMed medical staff have had some aspect of their training at 大象传媒, and there is great loyalty and commitment to the training program. The medicine resident teaching program is led by the medicine chief resident and associate program director.
