Both teams function as teaching services, and are staffed by residents and interns from the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine internal medicine residency program. The hospitalist will serve as the service attending Monday-Friday. Weekend duties will be shared with other faculty in the section of hematology/oncology throughout the course of the year.
