Confidentiality from the residency program is maintained. Residents have a monthly PsychoCinema . It's a pot luck dinner, and an attending is invited to lead a discussion after the movie. Well, no discussion of resident life would be complete without a discussion of call schedules . Each class has its own required number of calls per month.
Call is generally less frequent when one is rotating at the VA hospital.
As you can see, the call schedule for our program is much less hectic than many places, contributing to our residents' excellent quality of life. Small class size allows residents to get to know each other well. Residents work very closely with attendings , who are committed to education. Our attendings are generous and responsive, and go the extra mile to make sure residents get whatever help they need. There are frequent lunch-provided programs on interesting topics.
