Rounding with Cheri on the medical floors of the hospital. We first met in the teaching room with the We round with the Green Team - also known as the Aliki Team:

And here's a video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_0gp1s_zo
The team consists of an attending, a third year resident, two interns, and up to four students who come for clinical rotations.There are also occasionally sub-interns from anywhere in the world who are considering coming to JHMI for residency. OR just want to see how things are done here. This was great because the doctors are obviously quite accustomed to having Cheri on rounds and were very gracious. Then we all visited the patients in the patient rooms, reporting first outside the room and then all trooping in to see the patient. I was impressed with how the team interacted with the patient -- with respect and consideration. I was also excited because the doctors asked for assistance with two questions. Cheri has an electronic notetaker that keeps a history of the questions asked. After rounds, the librarian does a literature search and emails the results to the requesting doctor. I was invited to run a search, and Cheri not only passed along my find, but credited it to me. She also copied me when when she shared the search results with the doctors. I am provided with lots of practice searches and although I haven't had a lot of time yet to devote to searches, I am looking forward to doing more.
