Hello,
I am trying to get some clarification on something. Currently, I am a PGY-1 rotating through the 6 months of "non-otolaryngology" approved rotations. A few of the rotations do not have built in call schedules for us, so, the internal medicine team is making my co-residents and I take medicine hospital call during these months even though we are surgical residents.
We are trying to figure out if this is allowed by the ACGME or not. The other questionable thing is the new implication that ENT interns do not take "night float" but we are scheduled for night shift IM call?
Is all of this "legal" or within their scope to do so? or is something not right here?
Looking forward to comments. Thanks everyone.
