What is your call schedule? Q3? Do you know at all how your schedule is going to be (sick days, day off, vacation, hours). Just curious. Thanks.

Its q3 on most rotations although CV has traditionally been 24 on/24 off but they are thinking of revising that to q3 as well.
We get 3 weeks of vacation per year, which must be taken in 1 week blocks, cannot be taken before August 3rd or during June (for current residents), cannot be taken if you are the only intern on the service and of course, must be approved. The vacation week starts Friday night at 1800 hours and ends with morning rounds the Saturday 1 week later (ie, you don't get to include the weekend).
Weekends - we are "guaranteed" one weekend off per month but we'll see how that goes.
The hours vary depending on the rotation and how busy the service is, but in general they say resident rounds are at 5:30-6:00 - sometimes you have to come in early to round before the attending and senior residents and sometimes you can have medical students do it for you!
😀 Leaving depends on your work load, and service again. I expect anywhere from 80-110 hours per week.
Sick days - haven't heard about any but I'm sure they are mandated by law to have some. We are given 2 personal days per year - ie, to have your car serviced, etc. but not sure how you schedule those either. Orientation for all residents is next Friday so I'm sure they'll go over housewide stuff like that then.
Hope this helps!
