MGH Inpatient Rotation Goals Pediatric surgery Newborn Unit Rotation Goals Introduction to pathology services Direct admission policy		The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the third oldest general hospital in the United States, was chartered in 1811 and admitted its first patients in 1821. The Hospital’s main campus—13 acres located in the heart of Boston—is the size of a small city with the Pediatric Service as one of its neighborhoods. With 900 beds, the MGH is the largest of the teaching hospitals affiliated with the Harvard Medical School. Built around the original hospital building, the Bulfinch, are many newer buildings devoted to patient care, research, and teaching. The Wang Ambulatory Care Center, the Wellman Research Building, the Ellison Tower and the Blake Building are among the most recent additions to the hospital, completed in 1981, 1984, 1990, and 1995 respectively. Floors 17 and 18 of the Ellison Tower provide 40 pediatric beds for medical and surgical patients. The 18th floor serves adolescents and older children with medical and surgical conditions. The 17th floor provides medical and surgical care for infants, toddlers, and pre-adolescents.
MGH ward teaching attending schedule MGH ward hospitalist schedule Ward attending expectations		Inpatient attendings attend work rounds and morning report, teach, provide support to the senior resident running the team, and manage patients admitted to the general ward service together with the house staff. Both faculty and residents should review our expectations for the ward attendings. Please remember to complete the faculty evaluation at the end of your rotation. We are proud of the close faculty-house staff relations that should encourage self-learning and guide residents to key learning resources.
