Welcome to your rotation with us at Dayton Children’s! This is the opportunity for you to learn how to care for a variety of pediatric complaints.
This is a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center with an annual volume of about 80,000 - you will be busy! Rotating residents include pediatrics, emergency medicine, family medicine and anesthesia. We expect that you will work hard, learn pediatrics, and the trials and triumphs that come with emergency care.
When you are scheduled to rotate with us, you will get an email from the chief with a form to submit to request days off. This form will give you a chance to also tell me about your vacation days, didactics, clinics, and any other academic responsibilities I should know about.
Every resident will work 18 shifts, unless you also have full-day or half-day clinics, which will deduct from that total.
Sick days: If you are unable to make a shift due to illness, you must call the chief and the emergency department AS SOON AS YOU CAN. You will be required to make up all missed shifts.
Changes to a final schedule require Chief approval. If you know in advance about an unforeseen scheduling conflict after the final schedule has been set, it is YOUR responsibility to cover the shift.
DCH orientation (if never previously rotated at DCH) and EPIC training is mandatory, even if you have used EPIC at MVH/GSH/Grandview. You will be scheduled a time to do this before your first shift; more than likely, it can be accomplished online prior to your first shift. If you don't go, you will be sent home and the shift will be made up at a later date... which could be detrimental for your peers who are relying on you to help out that day. Emergency Medicine is a team sport. Please also keep an eye out for emails detailing any other required internet training as put forth by DCH - this will be sent to you by Ms. Ruth Talley.
Have fun and save some lives!

Where to park?
Where to park?
There is employee parking by the ER - turn right at the light BEFORE the main entrance, and it'll be immediately to your right (see the right-most highlighted parking lot). Then you will walk north, as indicated, and there will be an entrance with employee screening, right by the ER. The second employee lot is the "levee", the left-most parking. This requires your badge to park there - then you must walk around to the main entrance for screening.
