What are your schedules generally like as attendings? Are you able to group shifts where you work 5-6 days in a row and take 5-6 days off in a row, or is it random as it is in residency?

No more than 2 nights per month and no more than 2 weekend shifts per month. Nights are grouped, and it’s usually a whole weekend when weekend shifts are scheduled. Rarely more than 3 shifts in a row. Otherwise, it is pretty random.
I’m in an academic setting, and we do have some nocturnists.
That's a super solid setup, especially the 1 weekend/mo. You guys have longer weekend shifts or is the volume really that much lower? Or some docs mostly work weekends?
