Attending Physician Responsibilities
EXPECTATIONS
- Provide quality, compassionate care in a timely manner
- Precept medical students
- Cosign notes and modify history, physical, assessment and plan as necessary
- Write prescriptions
- Recommend referrals if necessary
- Prescribe labs using SB HOME’s lab order form if necessary
Prior to Clinic Session:
- Please confirm your username and password for Practice Fusion (our EMR) works.
- In order to electronically prescribe (which is now a requirement of NYS), your license information must be updated in Practice Fusion and go through their verification process. This process takes at least 7 days, so please send us this information as soon as possible.
What to Bring to Clinic Session:
- Stethoscope
- White coat
Miscellaneous:
Ideally, we aim to have three physicians booked per clinic session, one in each of three time slots: 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM, 12PM-3:00 PM and 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM.
We use Zwanger Pesiri’s “Give Back Sundays” program to acquire any necessary imaging for patients (http://www.zpgivebacksundays.org/).
Teaching is highly encouraged, but we also ask that time be managed appropriately so that you are seeing approximately 4 patients per hour. Clinic managers may kindly remind you of this if there is a back-up of patients waiting to be seen.
We have a Social Work intern who sees every patient after you have seen them.
