Ophthalmology Survival Guide 2014-2015 (2014) by University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics PDF

Description

No doubt about it, starting a residency is very difficult. As a new first-year resident, the recurrent theme seems to be “I wish I had known this sooner” or “I wish someone had told me that.” This guide is designed to do just that. It is to be a quick stop for information. We intend for it to be as concise and practical as possible. References are provided when appropriate. Obviously, it is not complete by any stretch of imagination, and you will definitely need to consult the abundant reference materials available in our great C.S. O’Brien Library. This is designed to be a foundation on which we hope you will build. We review the manual on a yearly basis in order to make it as up-to-date as possible. As you go through the year please, think about additions or deletions that may be appropriate and suggest these changes for future editions. Two key things to remember when you’re starting call: 1) Don’t blind anyone – if you are ever unsure what to do (“Should I go in or not?”) err on the side caution. Just see the patient. 2) You’re never alone – there’s always back-up available. Every senior resident has at one time been a first-year. Welcome to Iowa! As you will soon find out, this is a great department with a profound and far-reaching legacy of ground-breaking research and excellent patient care. You are now a part of that family – and we’re happy to have you!
