  • Title: The medical chief residency and its relation to academic sections of general medicine.
    Author: Parrino TA, Steel K.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1983 Nov; 75(5):839-42. PubMed ID: 6638050.
    Abstract:
    The role and function of chief medical residents in academic programs were reexamined in light of the advent of departmental units of general internal medicine. Of 87 chief medical residents responding to a questionnaire, 74 worked in departments with active general internal medicine sections. There was much interaction between chief medical residents and general internal medicine faculty: 36 percent of chief medical residents participated formally in general internal medicine section activities, 54 percent shared teaching responsibilities with general internal medicine faculty, and 45 percent of chief medical residents interacted with general internal medicine faculty in administrative activities. Despite this interaction, most basic administrative tasks were handled by chief medical residents alone. Forty-eight percent of chief medical residents thought the position had declined in prestige. Recent literature on the evolution of the chief residency in internal medicine and in other specialties is reviewed, and recommendations for capitalizing on the presence of general internal medicine faculty to make the position more rewarding are made.
