During the second half of the third year and all of the fourth year, call is twice per month.
Residents average one weekend call every two months.
On average, there are 3-5 psychiatry consultations per night. In addition, residents are assigned back-up call for the residents schedule, in case someone is ill. Staff expect to be called on each patient evaluation whether admitted or not, and are readily available for questions or problems. On weekends, staff make rounds with the residents and write their own notes on each patient. In general, the faculty encourages residents to follow their own interests, and has designated some time in the residency for formal elective rotations .
