A Brief Overview
The PL1 year focuses on learning about the typical child, variations of normal and recognition of the sick patient. Individuals in the PGY I year are closely supervised by senior level residents and/or faculty.
A core focus of the PL2 year is obtaining proficiency at assessing and managing critically ill children and adults as well as increased autonomy on junior resident only teams (with attending but not other senior resident oversight). PL2s have experiences in Oncology, Cardiology, Geriatrics, Medicine night float and NICU as the primary clinician for example.
The core focus of the PL3 year is supervision of junior residents and medical students as well as integration of knowledge and further development of patient management, teaching and leadership skills.
In addition to gaining inpatient supervisory experience, the PL3 resident is a leader in the Primary Care setting.
The focus of the PL4 year continued to be supervision of junior residents and medical students as well as integration of knowledge in Medicine and Pediatrics and further development of patient management, teaching and leadership skills.

• In the second half of the PL1 year, there is graduated autonomy on the inpatient floors. The PL1 begins to take responsibility for the floor pager and admission process, in addition to primary patient responsibility. The senior resident remains on the floor as a consulting physician for the team.
• The supervisory resident is aware of all patients on the floor, evaluates all admissions after discussion with the PL1 and is available for any questions or concerns.
