In this newly renovated department, both teams enjoy designated spaces alongside support staff and nurses. The real gem, however, is the emphasis on residents and providers working closely together, promoting collaboration and opportunities for learning. “If we ever need advice on things like blood pressure medication for our patients, I can easily walk over to family medicine and ask questions to our attending providers,” said psychiatry resident Dr. Ralison Alcius. “It has made the experience very easy.” As the Teaching Health Center continues to grow and evolve, these advancements will better help prepare residents for their future as doctors. This progress not only improves the residents’ training but also improves patient care, reflecting a positive path for CHI.
“I am loving the new space. Its modern design is innovative while keeping us closely connected to our peers and attending providers,” said resident Dr. Marnelle B. Chery. “The learning environment it provides helps us grow and allows us to deliver great patient care.” Designated Institutional Official and Chief of Family Medicine, Dr. Elizabeth Philippe, said the driving force behind this expansion was the commitment to elevate education for the residents and ensure proper care for patients. “The goal was to have an integrated space for the residents where they can see patients and be able to provide primary care,” she said. “We wanted to have a bigger space with more exam rooms so we can accommodate all 35 residents on their clinic days.”
