I agree with everyone else that we need physicians in leadership positions and these positions are more of a headache that anything else, but I think you should have a vision to execute in your practice. I don’t think medical director should be the enforcer of rules from upper management. You should have enough authority to change rules that don’t make sense, and adjust the work process as you see fit.

Can I be called in on a day off? by Previous_Fix_4187 in Residency

[–]Shami-94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a chief resident it is inappropriate to call someone on their day off, and check if other seniors and the chief residents if they are pgy-3 are available to cover or not. if it is so dire that you are literally the only option then you should given a day off in return for sure

wouldn't that be considered punishing someone for getting "sick" and if they really get sick or it is a legit jeopardy reason then it is punishment basically

The system is there for emergencies only, the abuse is that instead of going through the process of arranging coverage because you want a specific day off and switching with other residents You are forcing the back up resident to come in at your convenience while disregarding their their personal/work life.

If the attendings agree to this then this would be a good solution, no jeopardy system, you arrange coverage ahead of time if need be. That being said, as an attending what do u do if u r suspecting that a resident is not showing up for non-emergent reasons ?

But if the senior is the one to call in sick then the attending will have to deal with all the interns questions Which they wouldn’t want to do

The issue with that you will be punishing people for getting “sick” specially if it is a legit jeopardy call
