Ortho-Trauma Surgery
5/1/2024 - Ongoing
Surgical block includes all the Ortho trauma block time (8a-7p Mon-Friday, with 2 rooms on Tuesday and Friday, and 8a-1p on Sat and Sun)
Average is 1-2 call nights per week. Call response time of 30 minutes or less. 1 weekend of call per month. If covering the weekend, then no additional calls for that week unless other surgeons are out on PTO. During the summer, we are busier so being called in to do a case after hours while on call is not uncommon, probably happens about 75% of the time. All call (including weekends) is supported by an ortho trauma APP.
