: All Critical Care rotations now incorporate a rotating Night Shift schedule, whereby residents spend one week per month working nights, and three weeks working days. During their Night Shift week residents work from 8:00 PM through morning rounds the next day, thus ensuring that they leave by 10:00 AM.
The Night Float team consists of two interns and one PGY-2 who work as a team Sunday through Friday nights from 8:00 pm till 7:00 am. They are relieved after Morning Report at 8:30 am each day.
The weekday MOD responsibilities are divided between a Day-MOD, who works from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and a Night-MOD, who works from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday MOD responsibilities are covered by PGY-3's on Consult Services other than Pulmonary. Generally each PGY-3 on Consults does one weekend of days and one weekend of nights during each of their consult months.
