Abstract

In a children's teaching hospital the number of emergency visits increased to such an extent that they began to encroach upon the education of the house staff. Triage of some of the patients with minor medical problems to a staff physician in an adjacent but separate emergency room has provided relief for the pediatric house officers and better teaching for medical students. Technicians have sutured over 3000 lacerations per year, greatly reducing the load on the surgical house staff. These innovations provide a flexible way to maintain an appropriate balance between education and service.
