Tier 1 is towards junior residents of R1, where you will be assigned more stable cardiac encounters in cardiology floor and medical floors in consult service. The aim is to make you familiar with the stable cardiac issues from internal medicine perspectives.
Tier 2 is organized towards residents with more experience and exposure to deal with more critical issues and complexities of cardiac diseases and therefore they will be assigned to CCU rotation for total of 8 weeks, 6 weeks of which is in CCU and 2 weeks rotating through different clinics to get wider exposure to cardiology practice.
The rotstion will offer thrice weekly teaching topics of cardiology related issues in internal medicine. A further reading list will be shared with the residents, and it is the expectation that this list be covered by residents on their own time.
