I’ve been on some interviews and talked with others about their interviews, and I’ve been kind of shocked at the variety of how patients are admitted.
(What’s normal to me is that a resident goes down to the hospital ED to assess the patient.)
Here are the other scenarios I’ve seen or heard:
- Redidents never/rarely admit themselves, instead there are NPs/PAs who do assessments all day and all night.
-Residents never/rarely admit themselves, instead there are social workers (???) and therapists assess the patient
It seems kind of odd/wrong to me that social workers are the ones doing assessment
Some other new/perplexing methods I am unfamiliar with are “crisis” units and “psych EDs” that are run by mostly by residents and then they transfer patients to a psych ward
