TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rosalind Franklin University

Internal Medicine Residency

Residents are licensed physicians who graduated from medical school with the degree of Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). Residents have met all the requirements to continue their graduate medical training in order to become board-certified physicians.

Same level of care

Residents work with an attending physician who will confirm your diagnosis and ensure the most appropriate course of treatment is recommended for you. The attending physician may ask you additional questions and give you more information. This means that if you are seen by a resident, you are actually being cared for by a team of physicians.

Facts about Rosalind Franklin University residents • They care for patients just like other physicians.

• They partner with Rosalind Franklin University Chicago Medical School faculty members who are fully licensed, board-certified physicians, often referred to as attending physicians.

• They are very open to answering your questions. If they are unable to answer a question, they will research it and consult with their partner physician to find the answer for you.

To learn more about the care internal medicine physicians and residents

provide, please visit nm.org/primarycare.

To schedule an appointment with an internal medicine resident in

Nails

Healthcare workers are trained to scrub their nailbeds and the rest of us should, too. One nailbed can harbor as much bacteria as your entire hand. Other materials like food and lotion can also build up under your nails.

Thumbs

We scrub our palms, fingers and the backs of our hands, but often miss our thumbs.

Wrists

You might have to roll up your sleeves, but don’t stop washing before your wrists. We often miss our wrists while washing. After you’ve scrubbed your entire hand, use your opposite hand to make a ring around your wrist with soap and water, and then rinse.

Sources:

Whether you’re washing for 20 seconds with soap and water, or using an alcohol-based hand gel or spray with 60% or more alcohol, don’t miss these extra-germy parts of your hands.

Supporting You and Your Organization During Times of Uncertainty

Researchers in the field of disaster mental health warn that the emotional and psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will have an enduring impact on humanity. Critical incident stress management (CISM) is a strategic approach to fostering resilience in people in times of crisis and disaster. The CISM continuum of care is the most commonly used strategic planning system for disaster mental health, with the goal of promoting wellness through planning and preparation, providing resilience-building interventions, and supporting access to treatment rehabilitation. Offered in collaboration with the McHenry County Mental Health Board, Northwestern Medicine, and other community partners, CISM interventions are designed to help your organization navigate this difficult time with early interventions to enhance individual and organizational resilience. Interventions may include education, one-on-one or family sessions, and pastoral care. Additional options include small group interventions such as crisis management briefings and critical incident stress debriefings.

Goals of these resilience-building interventions: • Lessen the psychological and

emotional impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic

• Identify normal stress reactions • Encourage a natural recovery process

and skill-building

• Support individuals and organizations in restoring adaptive functioning skills • Determine need for further support

To schedule a CISM intervention for your organization, contact Jenn Balleto at 815.206.3459.
