Patient care is almost entirely the responsibility of the resident staff under the supervision of the faculty. The resident staff gains surgical experience and responsibility of patient care in a graduated manner, according to the level of training, under faculty guidance. They also assist in the clinical training of medical students, interns, and junior residents.
