Jim Peros, UVM IM resident alum - class of 2007, surprised us with an impromtu visit. It was nice to see a familiar face and someone who helped shape this middle manager's residency education.
He is currently working as a hospitalist at the:
Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center. Click to see his Jim's KP homepage and a description of his hospital.
Jim describes a large part of his community to be an immigrant Filipino population.
His fav procedure is the thoracentesis.
His schedule consists of 10 to 12 weeks blocks, in which he works an average of 40 hours per week / 10-12 weeks. This includes:
- 6 weeks of inpatient rounding/discharging
- 2 weeks of solely admitting inpatients
- 4 weekends are worked during the 10-12 week block
- 1 week of working nights - where he triages in the ER (ICU vs general wards), crosscovers inpatients
- 2 weeks off
When asked how he felt about the "real world" after residency, he reported feeling:
"Well prepared and comfortable to deal with any crazy situation...I've encountered a lot of crazy situations"
Hope you're well Jim.

Jimmy! I barely recognize you! You need a haircut. Such a respectable young man while he was in Vermont; and then he goes back to Cally and, it appears, back to nature. Should've seen that coming ...
