rotation description
The Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) is an internal medicine-teaching program for medical students and residents that is based on 5N in the Patient Care Centre at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
There are three CTU teams which are led by various attending Internal Medicine physicians who oversee the medical teaching and rotate on a biweekly basis.
Each team has a 2nd or 3rd year internal medicine (senior) resident who manages each CTU team.
In addition, two to three junior medical residents and two to three medical students make up the rest of the team and carry a patient load.
The program strives to have bedside clinical teaching rounds which the pharmacy resident is encouraged to take part in. The unit is structured around teaching and as a result there are many educational opportunities available, including daily morning report, Medicine Grand Rounds, and Interesting Cases Rounds, which the pharmacy resident is expected to attend. The pharmacist participates fully in direct patient care rounds with medical staff, medical residents, nurses and other support staff and provides teaching and education as required.
