Procedures
All medical residents are required to demonstrate proficiency in performing certain
required procedures and an understanding of the indications and interpretations.
Residents are instructed on proper techniques during their orientation, one-on-one
instruction by an attending physician or senior resident, and in special conferences
designed for that purpose.
The performance of all procedures is supervised by an attending physician or by a
senior resident who has demonstrated proficiency and has been certified in that
procedure. Documentation of all procedures is via the internet.
A procedure note is the responsibility of the resident performing the procedure.
Each note should include indications, description of the procedure, complications,
and any specimens obtained or tests ordered as a result of the procedure.

each procedure. Any additional information to document the circumstances or
parties involved in obtaining informed consent is added as a progress note or
included in the procedure note that is placed in the medical record.
