Hi, everyone! My name is Noel, and I’m a first-year psychiatry resident. I’m from Chicago, and although I’d never been to Milwaukee, I’ve been delighted to find that it’s a charming and fun-sized version of my hometown, complete with Lake Michigan to make it feel like home! I’m rotating at the Zablocki VA psychiatry inpatient unit, 3C. This is my first time working with veterans, and it’s a privilege to learn about their unique needs each day. Here’s a day in my life:

6:00 a.m. - I rage against the dying of the night. Then I get ready for the day. I make “overnight” oats the morning of, and I’m testing different recipes. As the mornings get chillier, I’m reminded that Autumn is upon us!

7:30 a.m.鈥�- I like to be in the resident workroom a little early; the day officially鈥痵tarts at 8AM. During this time, I skim notes, review overnight events, and start the H&P for new overnight admits.

8:30 a.m.鈥�- On M/W/F, we have morning report: social workers, nurses, students, rehab program coordinators, pharmacy residents, psychiatry residents, attendings, and other staff go through all the patients on the unit and provide updates relating to care, discharge planning, overnight events, etc. Morning report keeps everyone aligned on care plans; I wish we had it every day!

9 a.m.-11 a.m.鈥�- Time to see patients! Medical students lead interviews for patients they’re following. We review medications and goals, set expectations regarding inpatient stay, and assess our patients’ longitudinal progress. Occasionally, we may even partake in a scheduled ECT procedure!

11 a.m.-12 p.m.鈥�- Lunchtime! The cafeteria at the VA has plenty (tax free!) options. I’ve enjoyed the sushi and have been meaning to try the pizza. We typically don’t see patients during lunchtime; instead, we put in orders, work on notes, or finalize discharge orders/notes for patients who are leaving. Throughout the day, we also handle questions from nurses or staff about our patients.

12 - 2 p.m.鈥�- Along with the above tasks, we typically see new admits during this time. Later, we may staff (with the attending) any patients we had seen independently or run through the list and make sure nothing is missed.

2 - 3 p.m.鈥�- On Fridays, we have journal club. In a casual setting, this is a great opportunity to share with your fellow residents, attendings, and students a cool research article related to addiction. Last week I presented a study that evaluated Chantix in promoting vaping abstinence in youth.

3 - 4:30 p.m.鈥�- Medical students can leave if there is nothing left to do. I will finish notes and write admission orders for any new daytime admits.
I usually head home鈥痑round 5PM. I have dinner, unwind with TV or video games, catch up with friends and family, or go out with my co-residents if we have something planned. When my partner is in town, we explore Brady street’s restaurant scene! Overall, it’s the beginning of the year; I’m taking it easy and settling into my new life in Milwaukee.

I鈥檓 Claire Cohen, a PGY-2 currently in my outpatient year at 成人快手!

One thing that really drew me to this program鈥痠n particular was鈥痶he early immersion in outpatient therapy training compared to many programs, who do not start their outpatient immersion year until PGY-3.

While, at least as of now, I eventually envision myself in a primarily inpatient-setting, I really firmly believe that solid therapy skills are an integral part of being a good psychiatrist.鈥�

One of my favorite parts of intern year was the incredibly wide variety of experiences I had, which allowed me to engage in so many different aspects of psychiatry and help me gain unique and applicable skills from each rotation. I feel鈥痳eally lucky鈥痶hat my second year has provided the same degree of variation as my last.

Each Monday, I arrive to the VA around 7 a.m. to do some pre-charting on my morning trauma clinic patients, which I begin seeing at 7:45. I then attend a staffing meeting at 11:15 where the whole team staffs the patients we鈥檝e seen that morning. We then have another staffing meeting for our geriatric psychiatry patients, which I begin seeing at 1 PM and typically finish around 5. I love the wide variety of patients I see throughout my Mondays.

On Tuesdays I am at our Froedtert-affiliated medication management clinic, where I see new and follow-up patients with a wide variety of psychiatric conditions. This is essentially a general psychiatry clinic, which is staffed by our associate program director, program director and chief resident. I have already learned a tremendous amount about general pharmacology and medication management.

Wednesday mornings and Friday mornings are dedicated to didactic learning sessions, of which about half are in person and half are remote. These are given by many different psychiatrists and psychologists in the department on a vast number of relevant topics, often by experts in the field.

My Wednesday afternoons, Friday afternoons and every other Thursday, I am at the Center for Psychotherapy, where I see my therapy patients. This clinic allows me to establish strong and longitudinal relationships with my patients, as many of them I see weekly or biweekly. We also do some medication management in this clinic, though the predominant focus is therapy based. One of the best parts of this clinic is that we set our own schedules on these days, which has allowed me to learn more about my own workflow鈥痑nd also鈥痝ives me the flexibility to plan my day how I see fit. It has also taught me some additional practical aspects of clinic-life, such as billing for appointments.

Every other Thursday, I am at Children鈥檚 Hospital in outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry clinic. This provides another early and niche learning experience. I have loved being able to work with a population of patients鈥� I'd鈥� previously had very little exposure to. I鈥檝e learned so much already!

Unlike some of my鈥痜irst year鈥痳otations (particularly when off-service), most weekends this year are my own! I鈥檓 so lucky to have developed such meaningful relationships with my co-residents. More weekends than not are spent spending time with them. I鈥檝e also had a considerable amount鈥痮f 鈥痶ime鈥痶o travel both around the state and outside of Wisconsin as a direct result of 成人快手鈥檚 commitment to ensuring we are able to maintain lives outside of residency. We do rotate call weeks between each of the second years, which involves spending about every tenth weekend on the inpatient unit at the VA, but on weekends we are not on call, we do not have any weekend responsibilities.

Overall, second year has been a big change from first year, and getting into my 鈥済roove鈥� has not been without its bumps in the road, though faculty and my peers have been鈥痳eally helpful鈥痶o making this transition as smooth as possible. It鈥檚 been鈥痳eally fun鈥痝aining more autonomy while still feeling supported when I need it. Everyone I鈥檝e interacted with at 成人快手 has been so approachable and the culture here has clearly set this as the standard.

Hi! My name is Abby and I鈥檓 a PGY-3 currently rotating on the consult psychiatry service at Froedtert.鈥疉fter spending my PGY-2 year in outpatient psychiatry, it鈥檚 been exciting to be back in the hospital setting! So far,鈥疘鈥檝e had the opportunity to work on many interesting cases and really enjoy being part of a collaborative team. Here鈥檚 what a typical day looks like for me:

6 a.m.鈥�鈥� I wake up, feed my cat, make coffee, and head out for a morning walk. I live in downtown Milwaukee, and my partner and I love walking along the River Walk or Oak Leaf Trail. If we have time, we鈥檒l grab a coffee at the Third Ward Colectivo before heading to Froedtert (about a 15鈥�20 minute drive).

8 a.m.鈥�鈥� I arrive in the team room and start鈥痗hart reviewing鈥痯atients we鈥檙e following. The team is made up of 2-3 attendings, a CL fellow, another PGY-3 resident, and 1-3 medical students. We also share our room and collaborate with health psychology and substance use psychotherapy. We discuss anything that happened overnight and decide which patients we need to follow up on for the day.

10 a.m. 鈥� 12 p.m.鈥�鈥� My co-resident and I typically see our follow-up patients with the attendings and medical students. Afterward, we discuss and communicate our recommendations to the primary teams. We usually get a few new consults each day, so we respond to pages and see 鈥痯atients as鈥痺e get new consults.

12 鈥� 1 p.m.鈥�鈥撯�疻e will typically take a break for lunch.鈥疘 might head to the Sky Walk Caf茅 and catch up with co-residents who are also rotating at Froedtert鈥痠f time permits. Our attendings are often kind enough to bring in treats, so I鈥痬ay鈥痟ave a cookie or chocolate of some sort to look forward to! We often do table rounds during this time to review all our patients鈥� plans as a team.

1 鈥� 4 p.m.鈥�鈥� We see any remaining follow-ups or new consults. This鈥痳otation鈥痑lso鈥痑llows for plenty of鈥痮pportunity鈥痶o teach medical students,鈥痵o鈥疘鈥痺ill often spend time reviewing documentation and going over topics with them.鈥疉fter鈥痵eeing all our patients and鈥痗ommunicating鈥痮ur recommendations to the teams, we have time to finish up our notes.鈥疻ith multiple attendings who rotate through鈥痶he service,鈥痶his is a great opportunity to get鈥痙ifferent perspectives on cases from faculty with a range of experiences and clinical expertise.

After work鈥�鈥� I usually head home to make dinner! I鈥檓 grateful to have time during residency to work out, spend time with friends and family, relax with my partner, and catch up on reality TV!鈥疢y co-resident and I alternate holding the consult pager overnight. The pages鈥痑re infrequent,鈥痑nd鈥痺e always have an attending available for backup鈥痠f we have questions or concerns.

This rotation has been a great opportunity to grow in my confidence in not only evaluating and treating patients, but communicating with other teams and teaching.鈥疘鈥檓 learning something new every day and love the chance to dig into cases as a team.鈥疻ith three months of Froedtert CL this year, the variety of cases keeps the experience exciting, challenging, and fulfilling!

My name is Austin鈥疜ayser and I am currently a PGY-4. I am originally from Appleton, WI, but Milwaukee has really become a second home. So much so that my wife and I are planning on staying here after graduation! I am excited to share with you what my fourth-year schedule has been like.

I am pursuing outpatient psychiatry鈥痠n鈥痑 private practice after graduation.鈥疶he鈥痜reedom I had to choose my own schedule has really allowed me to explore areas of medicine I am truly鈥痠nterested鈥痠n鈥痑s well as prepare for my career after residency. I chose to split my week up so each鈥痙ay鈥疘 am at a different place (though I could have set it up as a block schedule,鈥痠nstead).

On Mondays I am working with鈥痶he鈥痟ospital medical ethics department which has been one of my favorite experiences of my entire medical career. I see consults with鈥痶he鈥痵upervising ethicist, explore philosophical topics related to psychiatry, and write reflection papers about鈥痶he鈥痚thical dilemmas I am learning about. This was a rotation that I designed myself, but our program leaders were enthusiastically supportive鈥痠n鈥痟elping me do so.

On Tuesdays I see my longitudinal psychotherapy patients鈥痠n鈥痶he morning. I prefer to see patients鈥痠n鈥痯erson, but we do have鈥痶he option to see鈥痶hem virtually, too.鈥疘n鈥痶he鈥痑fternoon I am at our鈥疘nclusion Clinic, which serves members of鈥痶he鈥疞GBTQ+ community鈥痠n鈥痶he鈥疢ilwaukee area. Wednesday鈥痬ornings are a mix of鈥痠n-person and virtual didactics and鈥痠n鈥痶he鈥痑fternoon, I am off to鈥痶he鈥疺A where I am learning how to do dialectical behavioral鈥痶herapy鈥痠n鈥痑 group setting. Thursday’s, I spend鈥痶he鈥痜ull鈥痙ay鈥痑t鈥疶he鈥疞ighthouse Clinic, an outpatient private practice. At鈥痶he鈥疞ighthouse Clinic I have a great deal of autonomy which has really allowed me to start shaping my identity as a future outpatient provider. Finally, on Fridays I rotate with鈥痶he鈥痮utpatient neurology team鈥痠n鈥痶he鈥痚pilepsy clinic and movement disorder clinic.

Being completely鈥痠n鈥痗ontrol of my fourth-year schedule has allowed me to really grow not only as a clinician but also as a person. I am always done by 5pm at鈥痶he鈥痩atest and have every weekend off as well. This has really allowed me to explore this city that I love, spend time with my family and friends, and go on small weekend trips. A major goal of mine this year has been to spend as much time as I can with my wonderful co-residents and my schedule has given me plenty of time to do just that.
