I'm trying to gauge what the best option is for a PCP call schedule.
1) Being in a big group and being on call for 1 week every 7-12 weeks or so and not worrying about call outside of that week. But you'd have to deal with everyone else's mistakes, neglect, problem patients, etc.
2) Taking call for your own patients and priming them for what an appropriate call is, making sure to refill meds to reduce calls, etc. But you're basically always on call then. But I hear you might be able to work out something with a colleague that could cover for 1 weekend or week if on vacation?
What do you do and what would you say is the best option for a call schedule?
