Resident Call Schedule
First year residents take no overnight call, but are responsible for two service days per month, which involve 3-4 hours on a weekend morning. Emergency Department coverage (day, night and weekend) is shared by the twelve 2^nd year residents. Additionally, the 2^nd year resident provides in-house weekend day coverage four or five times per year. We utilize a night-float system for in-house call. 3rd and 4^th year residents are each responsible for a total of five weeks over the two years. These senior residents are also each responsible for five Saturdays and five Sundays over the two years. Vascular Interventional call is usually covered by the VIR fellows, with residents on backup call from home. The in-house residents are always backed up by attendings and fellows, who are available for consultation via teleradiology.
