OB/GYN Residency Program

Call Schedule

In the Department of OB/GYN at White Memorial, the call schedule is based on a Day Float/Night Float system.  Each resident is assigned to a four-week night float session, twice per year.  During this time, the "night-float" resident is responsible for clinical duty from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., Sunday through Thursday.  The night float resident does not take weekend call duty (except starting Sunday night, as indicated).  The remaining residents are on "day-float" assignment.  During this time, the day-float resident is responsible for clinical duty 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Additionally, the day-float resident covers weekend call duty two weekends per month (one weekend covering Friday and Sunday, and the other weekend covering Saturday).  The remaining two weekends of the month are free of clinical duty.

As part of the primary care rotation, the OB intern will take call with internal medicine while on the ward and while on medical ICU rotations.

PGY-1 residents do not have on-call duty during rotations in NICU, Emergency Department, and Anesthesia.
