After an overnight Emergency Medicine shift, am I entitled to a post-call day?
Post-call days described in Articles 14.04(e) and 14.05(f) relate specifically to in-house and home call, not Emergency Medicine; Emergency Medicine hours fall under Regular Duty Hours in Article 14.02(b) which states “Residents on Emergency Medicine rotations who are scheduled for shifts shall not exceed a total of 60 hours of shifts per week.” Resident physicians that have service, education, or other expectations the morning following an overnight Emergency Medicine shift should consider contacting their program to ask if alternate arrangements can be made.
