Overview:
Resident rotations in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) are one month in
length. Each year (PGY-1, 2, 3) a resident rotates one time through the MICU. While in
the MICU, residents work within a multidisciplinary team to provide patient care. This
team includes a MICU attending, pharmacist, respiratory therapist, nursing personnel,
and a nutritionist.

Evaluation Methods:
Residents are formally evaluated by the MICU attending at the end of the rotation
using the standard ABIM evaluation forms. Additionally, modified evaluation forms are
also completed by the nursing staff for each resident. These evaluations are reviewed
by the Program Director on a monthly basis and at least semi-annually with the
resident.
