2. Clinical responsibilities include attending on a busy inpatient ward service, where census per hospitalist runs 8-10 patients/day. All patients are covered by our excellent Pediatric and Med/Peds residents, and UMassChan medical students are involved with most patients.

They give warm, reassuring smiles, and helping hands.
