Overflow/Fatigue/Illness Jeopardy / Back Up System

Faculty has approved a back upjeopardy system for the overflows, resident fatigue, and illness.  We previously announced that Friday and Saturday night float would be mandatory for the person on for overflows, while Monday-Thursday would be a home call, well this is no longer!!!


New Rules

• One person will be assigned jeopardy call for 1 entire week
• That person is required to be at the hospital within 60 minutes of receiving the phone call that the call team has capped. 
• Any forms of euphoria enhancing activities for the resident on jeopardy is highly prohibited ;)
• The resident on call obviously cannot be out of town.
• Failure of residents complying with the jeopardy system will results in forfeit of this system and we will revert to a weekend night float system
• If you want to change which week you are on jeopardy call, you must notify Avi or myself prior to the start of the call week. You will not be allowed to change your schedule once that week has started. We preferably want a two week notice.
• If you are called in on jeopardy call. Make sure to get the pager of the senior on call as it will be difficult to explain the schedule to the operator.
• The resident on call that cap and jeopardizes another resident do not go home early, they remain in the hospital to care for the inpatient wards.
• The jeopardy call schedule will be available on Amion soon.
