We are having a rotation issue. Our CR stating that we can't get post-call day off while in addiction psych rotation. Is there any total days requirement of Addiction Psychiatry rotation by ACGME to graduate?
How many days of Addiction psychiatry rotation needed?

RRC states:
IV.A.5.a).(5).(f) Addiction Psychiatry: one month full-time equivalent organized experience focused on the evaluation and clinical management of patients with substance abuse/dependence problems, including dual diagnosis. Treatment modalities should include detoxification, management of overdose, maintenance pharmacotherapy, the use of psychological and social consequences of addiction in confronting and intervening in chronic addiction rehabilitation used in recovery stages from pre-contemplation to maintenance, and the use of self-help groups.
Don't take my word for it--here's the link.
I've certainly gotten the message that duty hours take precedence over just about everything else these days--so if being at your addiction rotation puts you in violation, you probably had better adjust the rotation. Or the call schedule.
