Call responsibilities are shared equally amongst all critical care fellows.
On weekdays (Monday through Friday), fellows take 24 hour, in-house call, with one fellow being on call each night.
Fellows are on a night float system that lasts for 2 weeks at a time. The night float fellow comes in at 1800 and leave at 0700 the following morning. Thursday is the day off for the night float fellow. There is a 24-hour call fellow on Thursdays. Weekend days are covered by the same fellow in order to reduce the amount of weekends fellows work. Fellows only work on holidays that they are scheduled and the holidays worked are decided by the fellows at the beginning of each year.
On weekends (Saturday and Sunday), one fellow will cover both days (48 hours) on home call.
