Work Schedule/Duty Hours
Clerkship Work Hour Characteristics
The schedule for the pediatric acting internship is based on a pediatric intern's schedule in order to prepare medical students for residency.
Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red Teams: Students will arrive at 6:30am for IPASS structured team sign out, followed by time to pre-round on their patients from 7:30-8:15am. Morning Report is held from 8:15-9:00am M, W, F. Chief Rounds are at the same time on Tuesdays. Grand Rounds are from 8:00am-9:00am on Thursdays. Patient and Family Centered rounds run from approximately 9:00am-12:00pm. Afternoons are dedicated to patient care, documentation, and on the fly teaching if possible. Evening IPASS structured sign out rounds are from 5:30-6:30pm. Students will do a week of nights (Sun-Thurs) arriving at 5:30pm and finishing after morning sign-out at 7:30am on the floors. The AI team endeavors to be flexible by allowing students to choose which week they would like to do nights. The Sunday evening shift does not fulfill the weekend call requirement.
NICU: Students will arrive at 7:00am. Students will complete 4 extended shifts where they will stay until 9pm and return the next day. Students should do one extended shift per week. We recommend pairing up with an intern/resident and completing your 4 calls with them.
PICU: Students will arrive at 7:00am. Students will complete 4 extended shifts where they will stay until 10pm and return the next day. Students should do one extended shift per week. We recommend pairing up with an intern/resident and completing your 4 calls with them.
Weekend Shifts: All students, regardless of site, must complete one weekend day shift. Students may pick a date that works best for them.
Orientation Day Reporting
Students will observe rounds prior to orientation. Instructions regarding orientation will be sent in an email the week before (location and time may vary).
