Keck Medicine
The medicine service at Keck consists of 2 teams with an attending physician, 1 PGY2, and potentially medical students. Admissions are accepted by the medicine attendings. Most patients are admitted through the ETC/post-procedure or as transfers from outside hospitals. You may also see consults to medicine.

Note routing workflow: All notes should be sent to the attending for signature (NOT review.) This includes any specific procedure, event, GOC, or family meeting notes.
Assessment and Plan should be documented in a problem-based format
All notes should be completed and sent to attending for co-sign prior to the end of the shift
Please remember, these notes are not living documents. You do not need to wait until the end of the day to submit, as long as you have accurately documented the expected plan of the day. Please submit to attending for co-signature as soon as they are complete.
