All categorical interns have 5 blocks without call, including 2 electives, 1/2 month of ER, 1 month of Episodic Care, 1 month of Night Float, and 3 weeks of vacation. Preliminary interns have 4-5 non-call months, including 1-2 Night Float months, 2 electives, 1/2 month of VA episodic care and 3 weeks of vacation. All upper level residents have 4 weeks of paid vacation per year. We consider Night Team as a “non-call” rotation since you work 60 hours per week Sunday through Thursday nights and have 2 full weekends off.
