Inpatient Care Experiences
Our young inpatients at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center present our residents with problems ranging from the rare to the mundane.
First-year residents are the first to meet new inpatients and their families. As a Cincinnati Children's intern, you will complete the initial history and physical, develop a diagnosis and treatment plan, write orders and initiate care. On call every fourth night when on an inpatient team, you will be directly supervised by senior residents while maintaining the independence needed to develop your clinical skills. Our general pediatric attendings are skilled teachers and clinicians who supervise while allowing you to develop leadership skills. Our interns admit an average of six to ten patients per call night.
