The first year resident begins to understand the art and
science of coordinating judgement and a sick patient. They
place the patient along the natural course of disease and
evaluate different treatment algorithms. The emphasis is
on learning the fundamentals of patient care: fluid and electrolyte
balance, nutritional care, wound care and healing, aseptic
technique, universal precautions, treatment of infection
and shock, and the principles of transfusion and hemostasis.
The rotations during the first year in general surgery -
ICU/ER, and orthopaedics - are designed to reinforce these
fundamental principles. In the ER, he/she will be the first
to evaluate patients with acute problems and be supervised
by more senior residents and the attendings.
