On call schedule
While on core plastic surgery rotations as a senior resident (PGY4-6) you will be taking home call. As a PGY 1-3 you will be taking first call but will always have the support and backup of a senior resident who is paired with you for call responsibilities. Our first call residents take in-house night-call one week at a time in a rotating schedule. Weekend call duties are split between two resident call teams: Friday call and Saturday/Sunday call.
