The PL-3 functions as the team leader during the day and the senior admitting resident at night.  He or she examines every patient admitted to the team, aids the PL-1 in performing the H&P, helps the PL-1 or student develop the differential diagnosis and provides guidance regarding lab testing and the various treatment modalities.  In the case of an M-SET, the PL-3 is the team leader until the patient is stabilized or an intensivist attending arrives.
