MGH Step Down Unit

Junior residents spend a month at the Massachusetts General Hospital, one of our partner hospitals in the Harvard system. The MGH CCU Step Down Unit is a busy 36-bed adult inpatient unit which provides intermediate level clinical care to patients with cardiovascular disease including patients with acute coronary syndromes, decompensated heart failure, and a variety of cardiac arrhythmias. With a particular focus on interventional cardiology, the rotation provides a nice complement to community hospital training at Cambridge Health Alliance.

At MGH, Cambridge junior residents join four MGH junior residents on a team with a third-year MGH resident, cardiac EP fellows, and a staff cardiologist. Cambridge residents work 6 days a week with no overnight call.
