Physicians in the Division of Perioperative Medicine oversee a teaching program in which daily meetings are held with house officers (doctors in the residency stage of their training), nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who share information about patient care. These meetings, also called teaching rounds provide a forum for all participants to ask questions and learn how to provide consistent, high quality care to their HSS patients.
In addition to these members of the perioperative medical team, during their hospitalization patients at HSS may also receive care from other medical professionals including consulting physicians in specialties including anesthesiology, cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology and neurology, as well as respiratory and physical therapists.
