• WEEKENDS:
• During weekends you should round on patients
that you have been following during the week.
• In general these two rotations have a light patient
load and most of the time you won’t have any
patients to follow during the weekend.
• If at any point during these rotations you see
yourself breaking the ACGME 4 free days in a
month rule because of weekend coverage let us
know and other residents will cover for you.
• On those same lines, if you want to take a certain
day or weekend off let us know in advance and we
will plan for cross coverage. But please don’t
abuse this.
