- Info
On Call
- All neurology clerkship students have two mandatory assigned
on-call sessions. You will be on-call for a stroke call and a general
neurology on-call.
- The on-call experience is a time for one-on-one interaction with a
neurology resident. This can be one of the best learning
experiences of the clerkship. Call is intended to be a time to evaluate
patients presenting with still undiagnosed neurological problems, and
to review and participate in the evaluation and management of
neurological emergencies.
- Students will take call with a General and Stroke call neurology
resident.
- On weeknights you should page the junior neurology resident on-call
(pic # 1317) for the general neurology call and the
stroke junior resident on-call (pic # 1681) for the stroke
call by 4:00 pm of your on-call session. From then
on you should accompany the on-call junior neurology resident on their
calls to various areas of the hospital and assist with emergencies
involving neurology patients. To get the most out of the one
night on-call, you should be with the
resident and/or intern at all times they are involved in patient care
and not just available by pager.
- If the service is quiet, the on-call session may be a good time to
have the on-call junior or senior neurology resident discuss
neurological emergencies with you.
- You are required to stay in the hospital at least until 11:00 pm on
weekdays; weekend call lasts 6 hours after rounds are completed until 5
pm, whichever comes first. If the neurology resident does not
need your continued help with patient care issues, you may leave at
that point.
