Call responsibilities:

Fellows will share home call evenly. Fellows will be expected to take one weekend of call each month throughout their fellowship. 
Our fellowship program is designed to allow each fellow some flexibility in the number and timing of their clinical months. For example, if a fellow desires more inpatient time to gain more inpatient experience, their clinical rotation schedule can be adjusted accordingly.  A fellow may choose to do more research months during year 1 or 2 in exchange for more clinical time in year 3.
