VasectomyOUR PARTNERSHIP IN LEARNINGLearning and teaching represents a partnership that is dynamic and challenging. Every personhas their own background experiences, their “best” way to learn, and their “style” of teaching.At one moment the resident may be the learner, and at the next the teacher. Different teachersmay have very different (and equally successful) methods for managing a particular clinicalproblem. As a result, clear communication on needs and expectations will help the process alongsubstantially. The full time and volunteer faculty teach because they want to, and the residentsare here to develop in three short years the skills necessary to launch a successful career.II. Clinical Rotations and ExperiencesADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING<strong>Resident</strong>s are required to maintain certification in NRP and PALS, CardiopulmonaryResuscitation (Basic Life Support) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) all of which arecompleted during orientation. Re-certifications are required at the end of the R-2 year and canbe taken at Mercy (Plan ahead for this). Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) is an excellentintensive course, which is required for any resident who is licensed and who wishes to moonlightat a rural/remote ED in California. ATLS courses are available but often hard to schedule, soplanning ahead is very important. The residency program will pay for the course registration,but all other costs are the resident’s. Finally, ALSO courses are provided through the <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong>Network, and all residents are encouraged to attend. Beginning in 2011, all PGY1 residents willbe required to attend.A.
