The Emergency Department sees over 3,000 patients monthly and 50,000 annually in all disease categories.

OUTPATIENT CLINICS


Over 160,000 patient visits are made each year. Clinics are held regularly in all major and sub-specialty services. House staff rotate through these clinics on a regular basis.

Hospital outpatient clinics include: Anesthesiology, Pulmonary, Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Hematology/Oncology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Neurology, Cardiology, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, ENT, Urology, Ophthalmology, and PM&R.
Additionally, there are clinics for Audiology, Pain, and Addiction.

INTENSIVE CARE UNITS

The Intensive Care and Coronary Care Units are jointly supervised by a full-time Director. Each house officer follows his/her own patients in the Intensive Care Units.

SURGICAL RESIDENCY TEACHING PROGRAM

The Surgical Department has specialty services in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urology, Orthopedics, Plastic Surgery, Otorhinolaryngology and Ophthalmology. Residents have increasing responsibility as they rotate through each service. They participate actively in the teaching of interns and residents below their level on the respective services.

The surgical residents and interns are also assigned to each of the surgical clinics, and the assigned surgical resident supervises the conduct of the clinics. Attending staff surgeons are assigned to the respective clinics for teaching and consultation. As in private practice, surgical clinics are popular with the house staff because it is from these clinics that majority of patients are admitted to the hospital for elective surgical care.
