CLINICAL SCHEDULES:
You are required to complete 10 eight-hour clinical shifts during your rotation.
Two of these shifts must be weekend shifts (Saturday or Sunday).
You must work at least 3 shifts per week to ensure an even distribution of shifts.
While overnights are a fantastic opportunity for more one on one learning, they are not currently required.
All your shifts will be eight hours. You must work the full eight hours and cannot split the shift.
Our emergency room is divided into pods (which we’ve labeled A, B, C, and D) as well as a fast track area. The types of patients you see and shift times vary by pod, so try to work in every pod.
You shifts should include at least 2 A pod, 2 C pod, 1 D pod, and 1 FT shifts.
You must work the full 8 hour shift. You may not split shifts. It is expected that you are present to sign out at the end of your shift.
Per Jefferson, there must be at least 12 hours in between clinical shifts.
DIDACTICS:
You are expected to attend our medical student only SIM day and resident didactics on Wednesdays (Please refer to your welcome email).
We understand that you often have specific meetings at Jefferson as well. If your Jefferson schedule conflicts with these required sessions, please email the clerkship directors.
