In general, there are half-day clinics every day. Patients are usually put in the room at 7:30 to 8:00 AM and again at 1:00 PM. All attending‘s are fine with residents seeing their patients and then staffing. The fellows do have lectures or conference most days at 7:30 AM that they listen to in their office in 5235 in the Reagan Hospital. Please feel free to reach out to the fellows for morning lectures and any cardiology procedures!

Review patients for each day before hand
