Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
The ICU at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center consists of 3 teams, each comprised of an attending physician, one resident (PGY-2/3), and one intern (PGY-1). There is also an additional team that rotates on to night admissions. Each team takes day call every 3 days and spends 3-4 nights admitting overnight as a team.
