The PGY-4 resident, as a senior resident, assumes an increased independence and responsibility. Two eight-week dedicated trauma rotations will be spent at Bryn Mawr Hospital and Christiana Hospital. Here, the PGY-4 primarily spends the day in the operating room, gaining the experience skills necessary, as well as mentoring the PGY-1's that rotate through.
The rest of the year comprises of further sub-specialty training including Hand Surgery, Foot and Ankle Surgery, Sports Medicine and Shoulder/Elbow Surgery. The goal of the PGY-4 year is to prepare residents for the duties of their upcoming chief year as well as developing a well rounded repertoire of surgical and clinical skills in all sub-specialties.
