Resident Rotation and Elective Information

Schedule

The ER schedule can be accessed on the ER Schedule page.

Each resident is expected to complete 14 shifts per 4 week block of ER. You will have a mix of shifts. You will be expected to work nights and weekends, just as we do.

Orientation for Shifts

Please see the Orientation Page to complete the necessary modules prior to starting your rotation/elective.

Rotation Assignments

Starting July 1, 2021 for Rotation Residents

Each resident will be expected to complete 3 topic assignments during any 4 week block OR develop a topic assignment for future residents to complete during their rotation.

See the ER Classroom page for further details.

Evaluation

At the end of each shift, you are responsible for having an end of shift feedback form filled out by the staff physician you worked with. They are available in the ER Doc's Room or you can print them off yourself.

Resident End of Shift Evaluation Form

Please keep your end of shift evaluations. They are to be submitted to the DSSL at the midpoint and end of your rotation. Electronic format is preferred (scan, photos). Genius scan is a great app to make this an easy task!

Leaves and Protected Time

For FM residents: The schedule has been designed to keep free Thursday night and Friday open to protect your academic day. Residents who's home site is UHNBC generally will have Friday night off as well for "Call Free Friday".

You are required to complete a minimum of 75% of your rotation to pass the rotation—this works out to be 11 shifts. This includes absences for pre approved vacation time, conferences, education days and sick time. If you miss more than 4 shifts in a rotation block it will be necessary to reschedule shifts to make your 75% requirement.
