Our faculty consists of 91 academic physicians who participate actively in residency training. The areas of research, clinical interests, and experience of the faculty are quite diverse, resulting in an environment in which critical evaluation of basic and clinical research is diverse, and various solutions to problems of patient care are customary. Call Duty Night call schedules vary among the different hospitals and services. The overall average approximates one in four week nights and part of one to two weekends per month. Residents on first call are relieved of duty on the subsequent day.
Faculty directly supervise all night, weekend, and holiday duty.
