CALL SCHEDULE BY YEAR<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Residents on call in Psychiatry are in-hospital, and they cover the 18-bed inpatient psychiatric unit, consult liaison service, psychiatric Emergency Department, and phone calls from outpatients. Residents do not round on the inpatient unit (this is done by the attending psychiatrists).<\/li>\n
  • PGY1: Residents are on call in Psychiatry only while on rotation in psychiatry or neurology. While rotating on medicine, residents take calls as per the medicine service\u2019s schedule.\n
      \n
    • First six months: All shifts are supervised by a PGY3 resident on-site. Average of 1-2 short calls (4:30 to 8 p.m.) per week and 1-2 longer weekend calls (12 hours long) per month.<\/li>\n
    • Second six months: Intern operates independently with the same call schedule as the first six months, but now the supervising PGY3 residents are available via phone for assistance and no longer on-site. Residents also complete one month of night float (8 p.m. to 8 a.m., Sunday p.m. - Friday a.m.) supervised by an in-house PGY2 resident during this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
