Call Schedules

Senior Residents' call schedules are coordinated by the Chief Residents.  They can be reached at Chiefres@ualberta.ca.  We use a ED Consults TEAM PAGER for this service so please be sure to NOT take this pager home or you will be returning to the hospital post call (not fun!!).

Regional On-Call Application (ROCA)

• A live, browser-based interface that allows you to determine which physician or alternative provider is on call for a particular service at the time or future dates.

• Click on https://insite.albertahealthservices.ca and then log-in

• Locate the tab for "On-Call/ROCA"

• Then click on the "Edmonton & Area" Region

• You will need an Alberta Health Services login and password to access this.

Team Pagers

We use TEAM PAGERS for the GOLD, RED and GREEN Teams.  Some important things to remember about the team pagers:

•  The team pagers are listed as FIRST CALL on ROCA (Regional On Call Application) 24/7.  Switchboard/units will be using these numbers as the main contact.

• If you are going away for Academic Half Day (AHD), please hand off the team pager to someone who is still physically at the RAH, even if that means the staff will be carrying the team pager during the day. If you are on call in the evening (as per the call schedule), when you come back, you can get the team pager back.

• If no one on your team is on call that day, you still should be carrying the team pager until the evening when someone else takes the pager from you. Either the students or junior residents can carry the team pager; if no student / junior is available that day, then the senior can carry the team pager.

• Rotate who is carrying the team pager throughout the week to ensure that it is fair for all team members.

• It is SOLELY the student/resident on call's responsibility to get the team pager from the student/resident who was on overnight the night before at handover and return the pager at the end of your call - do NOT take it home or you will be coming back to the hospital post call (not fun!!!).

WEEKDAY calls are 1700 – 0800.  WEEKEND calls are 0800 – 0800.
