SCHEDULE TIPS

Fluoro resident will be responsible for cases at MORNINGSIDE OR WEST ONLY

For Thursdays, contact the technologists at Morningside and West to find out the schedule for the day.
You an also look up scheduled cases in advance: How to look up fluoro cases on Epic

If an inpatient case gets added on at either site (M/W), your priority should be to travel immediately to that site. Inpatients always take priority.

GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS

GOALS:

Residents will become proficient in performing many non-interventional fluoroscopic examinations including but not limited to upper GI studies, barium swallows, esophagrams, small bowel follow through, and barium enema.

EXPECTATIONS:

Scrubs are appropriate attire
Give your cell number to techs at Morningside and West sites at the start of your rotation.
Prior to each case gather clinical information & review prior correlative imaging
Complete fluoroscopy studies, initially with attending guidance and later independently

EMERGENT FLUORO STUDIES

INPATIENTS & MBS:

Emergent fluoroscopy studies (r/o leak after bypass, etc), as well as any Modified Barium Swallow studies, will be performed by an onsite resident.

Should an emergent study arise and the Morningside-West Fluoro resident is performing cases at another site, resident coverage will be provided using the site-specific hierarchy below:

- M: Body CT W/MR --> US M (R2+ then R1) --> Neuro M

- W: Body CT W/MR --> PET --> Cardiac
