Fellows may write orders and progress notes in patient charts, assess patients' status, perform history and physical, develop treatment plan, perform rounds, order tests/examinations/medications, arrange discharge and aftercare, provide patient education, perform procedures and assist in surgery which are specified by each fellowship program director, although attending physicians retain responsibility for the care of patients seen by fellows.
