Veterans Affairs Medical Center

Four medical teams cover an average of 60-70 patients on the medical service.  The population of patients focuses on bread and butter medicine-coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure cirrhosis, COPD and various malignancies.   Each of the four teams has two management attendings (VA faculty) who round daily as management and as teaching attendings.  Frequent multidisciplinary case conferences involving the subspecialty faculty are the highlight of the curriculum at the VA.
