Members don't see this ad.

Can anyone comment on the # & length of shifts for these programs?

Jax is on a month calendar not a 28day. Keep that in mind for the calculation.

Arizona is on a 4 weeks block as well.

All shifts are 9 hours with 7.5 hours of picking up patients and 1.5 hours of clean up time.

Interns 20 shifts in 28 days (2 days off per week)
Juniors 19 shifts in 28 days
Seniors 18 shifts in 28 days.

Got more Qs PM me. I dont always check these threads as i spend most of my time padding away.

Maricopa is on monthly blocks.

The ER shifts are a mixture of backroom (10 hours) and frontroom (critical care area, 8 hours).

Interns work app. 22 shifts a month
Juniors work app. 20 shifts a month
Seniors work app. 19 shifts a month

Maricopa's EM Residency program just underwent a significant expansion (new residents, new attendings, new program coordinator...). It's been fun making the best even better... With the increase in number of residents per year, the scheduling has changed quite a bit. It's still a three year program, but the residents work less shifts than originally quoted in the thread.

Since you're in the know at maricopa, do you guys, or have you ever offered a spot out of the match to a DO?

just morbid curiosity really.

Also, how many are you guys taking a year now?

They definitely do - just check their website: http://www.maricopaemergencymedicine.com/faculty-and-residents/residents

EM residency websites are your friend...they're often very helpful for a number of reasons.
