Get to Know Your Health Care Team

Attending Physicians: physician in charge of your care. Your physician or the physician covering for he/she will check in on you periodically during your hospital stay.

Residents: physicians in training who work under the direction of your physician. They round each day early in the morning (before 6:30 am) to change dressings, review lab results and plan your treatments for the day. They will also check in on you later in the day.
