Fellows Call Schedule

Beginning 7/1/2024, there will be a significant reduction in fellow call requirements. Fellows will no longer take weekday calls and will only take weekend calls, but only during the day (not overnight). Fellows take call throughout the year, for both years. On average, fellows take 6- 7 weekend calls per year (which includes one holiday each academic year). The call schedule is published at the beginning of the academic year to allow for sufficient time for planning.

The on-call fellow is responsible for helping to cover our Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient unit only, Saturdays and Sundays, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM. Fellows are responsible for evaluating and managing patients, accepting new patients, electronically entering admission orders, and being available to nurses for urgent concerns on the unit.  An on-call child faculty member is assigned to supervise the fellow and is always available for the fellow.
