Recent Residency Graduate Overall Rating: 08-Feb- 2002 Teaching: Atmosphere: Research: Schedule A true transitional year schedule taliored primarily by the resident. Medicine wards: q4call until 2000 then night float takes the house. Excellent faculty instruction with daily team lectures and 3-4h formal lectures. Surgery wards: prerounds 0500. team rounds 0615. lectures 0715 or 0730. OR starts 0800. Intern gets in the OR for 1-2 cases most days between floor work. Nonmalignant rounds but busy for the hospital size. Other required months: ED- 20 shifts over 4 weeks (2-3 nights); ICU: awesome, well-supervised and excellent attendings; nightfloat 2 weeks: senior resident does all admission- intern takes care of pain, sleepers, oliguria, etc.Peds and OB were both excellent months. Electives are generally no call/ no weekends, even most surgical electives. Teaching Columbia affiliate with a very real commitment to education and didactics. Medical students formally rotate from 5 schools and help keep the teaching excellent. Radiology rounds have been weak due to low staffing. Grand rounds are usually excellent. Atmosphere This is one area that Bassett shines. I truly loved my internship, despite 5 months of surgical rotations. The environment is cordial, professional, but very personal. residents are part of the Bassett Family and it shows every day. Your ideas and concerns are respected on the team and you are allowed to take care of your patients (on medicine). All the house staff get to know each other very well and most live in the same housing complex 1000 yards from the hospital. It is a very close community. With so many rotations without call/ weekends, the quality of life is excellent. Just remember that this is upstate NY with a drive to any urban center and activities Conclusion A great transitional year that prepared me well for my residency. The only shortcomings were the location - very quiet for single residents used to city life (fine for my wife and me). A small hospital that has an academic presence much larger than its size both locally and nationally. I recommed it highly and would go back in a moment...
