the problem other than the hours are sick days..in the us sick days for children are non existent,right?
i could never work if my kid needs me, i would probably just go home the moment i get the call. that would possibly mean the end of the residency, right? (would happen about every 2 mths for about 1 day)
Ahh geez, you could match and then everyone is forced to take this as it comes, if it's 1 day q 2mos they may just be stuck trying to deal with it
it may be tolerated OK on an infrequent basis, but if it's even one day per rotation I'm guessing that's pushing it I don't know in psych
it will vary rotation by rotation as well
being AMG vs FMG also plays into this too, it's easier to get rid of FMGs that are inconvenient for a reason like this vs US, I don't know what your guys' FMLA etc rights are
part of what plays into this is how lean the program is in terms of coverage and number of bodies, that plays into your expendability
it's tempting to bring this up at an interview so they know what they're signing up for, making it less likely they will cut you if they take you and this comes up
however if you put your worst foot forward you may not get any position
don't just try to match and see what happens and they fire you unless you are prepared for that to be the end of your career here
you will likely get 1 chance as FMG here
will there be an age or stage where you would not be needed at the drop of a hat for the child? in that case biding your time until you can make a more total commitment would be best so you don't risk this being an issue costing you your one residency chance
is there any way to have those calls covered by anyone other than yourself, cutting down on the frequency of such "gotta drop residency at a phone call" moments?
I don't want to press you for info, but I am curious why you would need to do this, and it's not because I'm judging you, I'm just wondering because if we knew maybe there would be some better suggestions for your situationn
