THE SIXTH And SEVENTH YEAR (NS-5: PGY-6)
The sixth and seventh year residents return to the Medical University
Hospital and the MUSC Children’s Hospital as chief residents.
The large clinical service at these hospitals is divided into
two separate services, with one chief resident assigned to each
service. During this two year period, each chief resident will
rotate between the two services at approximately three month
intervals. Each chief resident will be involved in all levels
of inpatient and outpatient clinical care, with increasing responsibility
based on the individual’s experience and ability. The seventh
year resident will have additional administrative duties, including
the organization of clinical neurosurgery conferences.
