[ Tucson ] HOUSESTAFF MANUAL 2001- 2002
TABLE OF CONTENTS
September 1, 2001
Dear Physicians: Welcome to the Tucson Hospitals Medical Education Program and to Tucson! Each of us at THMEP and the full-time, part-time and voluntary teaching staffs at Tucson Medical Center and Kino Community Hospital are delighted you have joined us. We look forward to an exciting and productive year together. This manual is intended to help orient you to the policies, schedules and expectations at each of the programs various sites. While it is unlikely that you will "digest" all of this in one sitting, we hope you will read through this important manual and refer to it from time to time to clarify areas of confusion. Because the landscape of medical education changes rapidly, and because THMEP is committed to meeting the evolving needs of our housestaff, changes in the information contained here are likely. Our core belief in the value of community-based medical education, our philosophy of education through patient care and didactics and our understanding of you as both our student and our colleague will not change. All of us at THMEP are dedicated to helping you succeed, now and in the future. Essential to this is our ability to recognize both our successes and our troubles, and to respond to each appropriately. We look to you to share your observations with us, and we welcome your input. We look forward to working with you during the coming year. Please do not hesitate to speak with any of us at THMEP if we can help make this years transition easier, or if we can help in any other way. Sincerely,
