There are 13 four-week rotations during the year. First-year Preliminary and Categorical residents have approximately 30 weeks of general medical wards and four weeks of night float. Second- and third-year residents have four rotations on general medical wards per year. The usual team consists of one supervising second- or third-year resident and two interns. Although there are ongoing changes in the yearly schedule, a predicted schedule would be close to the following examples.

Night-Call, R1s
First year residents have approximately 4 of 13 rotations without on-call duties during the year. While on the wards, in-hospital call is every sixth night, with arrangements made for early departure the next day.

Night-Call, R2s and R3s
We have a very efficient and effective night float schedule for R2s and R3s. The four residents on the wards each rotation have no overnight call during that rotation. Other Senior Residents cover from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am for one-week blocks, with no daytime responsibilities. Each R2 and R3 has three to four one-week blocks of night float per year.
