What is the frequency of call that Family Medicine Residents take?
Call as a first year can vary from q4 to q10, depending on the rotation. Residents have 3 call free months during their intern years. Second year residents have more call free months (approximately 5). In the other 7 months, call occurs every 4th to 7th night. Third year residents take approximately 15 calls through their entire year covering our Family Medicine Service, primarily on weekends and holidays when Night Float isn’t available.
