On-Call Schedules

Consult call is taken in one week blocks. Fellows take call five days per week out of every three or four weeks. The only difference in the call schedule is that the week out of every three or four weeks.

The Adult track fellows perform consults in Jacobi and North Central Bronx Hospitals, while the Internal Medicine/Pediatric track fellows do not. In order to balance the workload, the Adult track fellows never have any weekend call responsibilities, while the Internal Medicine/Pediatric fellows do take call on weekends.

Fellows consult with Adult Division attending for adult in-patients and with the Pediatric Division attending on pediatric in-patients. The Internal Medicine/Pediatric track fellows handle almost all of the immunodeficiency and HIV-related consults. It is extremely rare for fellows to have to return to the hospital at night for consultations.
