This section contains specific objectives for each year of training. Each resident will be assigned a faculty advisor, who will meet with his/her advisees on a regular basis. Continuous improvement in the program and its processes is our fundamental goal.
Call
PGY 1 - Residents take 10 months of orthopaedic call during their first year. The resident on General Surgery and Trauma Surgery takes call with those services. Generally, each first year resident has 6-8 call periods per month. Call begins at 5 p.m. and ends at 6:30 a.m. Responsibilities include all orthopaedic consults in the emergency department and trauma center as well as all orthopaedic patients in-house.
PGY 2 - Night float occurs from 6 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday night. Duties include consults and attendance at conferences.
PGY 3 - Residents take 2 weekend calls per month. While on pediatrics at Nemours Children's Clinic, home call is every 4th night.
PGY 4 & 5 - The chief takes home call at night and is responsible for all consultations and operative cases performed at night. He/She reports directly to the faculty.
The chief is in-house (i.e., comes in from home) for all operative cases at night and reports directly to the faculty.
The PGY 4 & 5 residents share the call responsibilities, so “chief” coverage averages one weekend in four, and each has the full weekend off following a full weekend of on-call duty.
All residentshave two weekends off per month, but cover their entire service when in-house on weekends (excluding night float residents).
