Our scheduling software is QGenda at https://app.qgenda.com/login. You will be provided with a username and password for the site.
Schedule requests can be entered into QGenda.
Requests are due on the last day of the month for the scheduling period 4 months in the future (i.e. September requests are due by the last day of April)
No requests will be accepted after this deadline
Shift trades should be completed through QGenda. Most people send an email to the Emergency Attendings listserv at EmergencyAttendingsDL@caregroup.harvard.edu to ask for shift trades. If there is an issue with processing a swap through QGenda, you may also email Maile to help.
Maile Blackburn (mblackbu@bidmc.harvard.edu) is the contact for scheduling questions
Back-up Call Schedule
ED schedule includes back-up call assignments "BI Call". There are two people on call. There is no difference between these two calls.

On-call attendings must be available by phone or pager and able to travel to the hospital within approximately one hour if needed
If you are sick or have a personal emergency that requires activating call, you should notify both the on-call attending and the on-call ED administrative attending (available in the paging system), email the Vice Chair, David Chiu and Maile Blackburn.
