Amie Kowalczyk, Pediatric Resident
Me and My Job
Team effort
The chain of command varies. I'm a junior resident. On my ward, our team of junior residents and medical students is supervised by a senior resident who runs rounds. We also work with nurses, dieticians and respiratory therapists.
The attending physician is a community pediatrician who admits the child to the hospital. We check in regularly with the attending physician to tell them what we plan to do.
