Hey! and Amy!

There's one about two cents but now I can't think of it...

Yea, and what do the PGI 2 letters mean on the sigs?

PGY= Post Graduate Year and then whatever number you happen to be suffering through. (Intern year=PGY-1, etc.)

PGY 2 --post graduate year 2....second year of residency

(is that what you meant?)

[houseelf]

Actually, PGY and R do not equal the same thing. For example, DH is PGY7 but R5. (Post graduate year 7, clinical residency year 5). Most of the time PGY and R are the same, however.

Don't forget "Q" as in the call quotient. Q2 (call every other day), q4 (every fourth night), etc.

Kelly

Thank you! Very helpful.
