Late stay residents will be relieved by mole team members or higher ranking late stay residents in order of priority as seen by their rank list on the schedule. This call may be in the general Shands OR or in OB based on qualifications. The preoperative evaluation clinic frequently requires extra people late in the afternoon, and you may be asked to see one or two patients prior to going home. It is an absolute policy that you must check with the person carrying the scheduling pager prior to going home at the end of any clinical day. Late stay requests for upcoming rotations will be accepted up to the first Friday of the preceding month.
Every effort is made to honor all requests.
CA-3 residents will be completed by the end of May during the preceding academic year, and requests must be received by the end of April, following completion of your clinical assignment schedule. CA-1 assignments will be completed by the end of July of the academic year. That way, residents will know many months in advance of their mole assignments and can plan appropriately. This schedule is prepared by the chief residents. Thus, functionally, residents assigned to OB will cover Sunday for 24 hours and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights.
