The call at Scott and White is rotated among the six residents so that the first year resident takes twelve weeks of call, second year residents have eight weeks of call, and the third year residents have six weeks of call. The schedule is made up by the two senior residents.
Call is taken at home on a beeper.
During the week on call the resident must stay within range of the beeper at all times and answer all calls promptly. The Resident is to respond to calls received from the physician in the Emergency Room or from hospital ward personnel. Holidays during the year such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, New Years Day and Labor Day are assigned to the first year residents. The VA and Scott and White call are taken concurrently.
