I spent one full week of my elective time working with Dr Stafford and Dr Lamb in our ICU at Sutter rounding on patients each morning, working to developing a care plan with the ICU attending, and doing procedures under their guidance. I was given the freedom to see both resident patients and “hospitalist” patients in order to focus on the most interesting cases available. Dr Stafford and Dr Lamb were excellent teachers and this was an excellent way to improve my inpatient medicine skills.
