What is the on-call schedule?
We believe that exessive overnight call detracts from the ability of residents to devote full attention to their clinical and didactic experiences during the day and to enhance their education by continually reading on their own. Therefore, at this time our only formal call requirement is that PGY 1 residents take call in our Psychiatric Emergency Services one night each week during their six months of inpatient psychiatry and take one weekend day of call during one month of neurology. PGY 2-4 residents do not take evening or overnight call. As at all residencies, we cannot guarantee that the on-call schedule will not change, but this has been the typical schedule over the recent years at our program.
