“I do have one thing, it just hit me. Sometimes when I have been …I don’t know where this is directed but sometimes when I have been on call I have been called about patients who are unstable who I was never told about. And so, I will be called and they will say, this patient has respiratory distress and is acutely unstable.” (FAS1)
“I was with her once when we were talking to someone and he was confused and she was on the phone with his wife. And she was really good and kept her updated and she was cognizant of the patient and the family and the plan.” (FAS2)
“She outlines care plans very clearly when we do handover and so that is helpful.” (FAS14)
Intra- and inter-personal awareness “She is my R3 on the team. She is approachable and is always around. If I need any questions or if I have concerns then I can just ask her.” (FAS3)

Learning Opportunities “and maybe do some informal teaching sessions with the students if he has time.” (FAS4)
“So, the R3 role certainly allows itself towards teaching but it is part of any senior resident’s job description to be working on educating you guys. And so that would be something that she could do more of.
