Hey folks!!
Hope all is well on your new rotations. I'm a member of the green medicine team which is just run-of-the-mill general internal medicine. We're having a really great time b/c our team is really laid back and a lot of fun to be around. Our attending, Dr. Forsyth is really hell-bent on making sure we have a productive and low-stress experience. She makes us take the days we should have off even if it is on a post-call day. We usually get to the hospital at 6 am to pre-round and get off the clock around 6 pm. We're on call Q3, Sun- Thurs 7am-7pm, Friday and Sat, overnight call, 24hrs. Any other ?s, you know the deal.
Michael

I did Green medicine as well and really enjoyed it. I had Dr. Haburchak for the first three weeks. He is a great guy - very nice and very dedicated to teaching. He takes large parts of his day for teaching, though of course this can make rounds go kind of long (but that's what medicine is all about, right?). For the last week I had Dr. Craig. He is more quiet and doesn't teach as much, but he's a nice guy and easy to get along with.
For the most part, though, in medicine your experience will depend on your resident and interns (and fellow students). The schedule Michael posted was accurate for my experience, except I think I ended up staying a little later over all (though it was my 2nd rotation and H&P notes took me forever). This was kind of a tiring rotation actually (more than surgery even, though I had surg onc), but I enjoyed it.

Green medicine attendings are ID attendings. They have some of the best teachers at the school in my opinion. They set aside extra time to teach you things. So you will spend extra time in lecture. For example Dr. haburchak will say, "lets meet at 1 30 so we can discuss this some more. Also they are very nice in general. Since they are ID, PE skills and good relevant history is very important. Writting good long H&Ps that show you are thinking about the problems and read up on them is very important. Also if you impress them, they will write you excellent LOR. Ask a lot of questions.

The attendings on this rotation are all great (and grade very generously). Dr. Haburchak is simply amazing and teaches a bunch. He also doesn't round for 6 hours or demand you to present patients like a marine every morning, or expect your notes to be 4 pages long. I don't think this service is simply ID any longer. I think the limited number of patients forced them to change it to a general medicine service but it's still under the same attendings. Dr. Newman is also good. She's a really nice lady and very pleasant to work with. She doesn't do all that excessive rounding that other services do either. As long as you have a good team you'll have a great time on this rotation.
