MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM OFFICE

- Pagers: Pagers CANNOT be left unintended. This is a major patient safety issue. Please make sure that your pagers are on you at all times, and are on ring (not vibrate).
- EOC: You MUST have your phone on ring if you are on EOC and must respond to calls from the chief resident. Failure to do so may result in additional EOC time.
- If your phone number changes, you must update Casey.
- Sign-Out: When leaving or coming on to a service you must complete sign-out. This is another patient safety concern.
- Duty Hours: If you feel that you are coming close to a duty hour violation, contact your site specific chief immediately for assistance (chief on call if the weekend).
- Morning Report: Will start on Monday at 8:00a at the following locations. Please arrive early to ensure that you are able to attend AM Report and are prepared to round immediately after.
- BGMC: CTRC (GVI building) room 7002 (7th floor in front of the elevators)
- ECMC: Noyes Conference Room
- VA: In the team rooms for now (all of which have cameras and microphones)
- AHD: The chiefs and I will be holding a mini Town Hall meeting during AHD this week. We will be reviewing expectations, changes to the EOC policy, educational allowances, and the didactic attendance policy.
