In the latest webisode of Sunnybrook’s Day in the Life of a Resident series, Dr. Tiffany Florindo, chief resident, welcomes 12 newcomers to the family practice unit.

It’s amazing that last year at this time, Dr. Florindo was sitting where they are filled with anticipation. She even worried that she’d be “the worst resident in the history of residents”. Congratulations on completing your year, Dr. Florindo! And thank you for letting us go on the journey with you!

Learning in a hospital — as a resident, nursing student, intern or any other allied health professional student — means you will likely soon be faced with the reality that not all patients survive.

And that can be a tough fact to swallow.

In this Day in the Life episode, first-year medical resident Tiffany Florindo recalls the first time she was called to a Code Blue — and the flood of emotions that followed.

How did you react the first time one of your patients died? Do you think training programs and mentors do enough to help students deal with the death they face on the job?

First-year family practice resident Tiffany Florindo is one of the 4,000 students who learn the ropes at Sunnybrook each year.

And, she says, it’s not quite like what we see on TV.

By letting Sunnybrook’s media team follow her for the next year, Tiffany is giving a rare and candid glimpse into the busy life of a resident. She shares her fears, hopes and what it was like to be called “doctor” for the first time (You’ll have to wait for episode 2 for that!)
