Inpatient Ward Services


 
 

 

The medical inpatient service consists of subspecialty wards and general medicine wards in the UNC Hospitals. There are 7 subspecialty services; Cardiology (including CCU), GI, Hematology/Oncology, Infectious Diseases, Pulmonary, Renal, Neurology and 2 General Medicine services. In addition, there is a separate Medical Intensive Care/Respiratory Intensive Care Unit rotation.

Each ward team consists of an Attending, a PGY 2 or PGY 3 resident, 2 PGY 1 residents and 1-2 medical students.  For the subspecialty services, the Attending comes from that subspecialty.  On-call duties are every fourth night.  There is a cap of 5 admissions per call day.  These occur between 8am-11pm.  After 11pm, all admissions are taken by a Night Float resident.  There is no short call system.
