Schedule making:

Friday at 10 PM — send coverage requests via Google Form for Admin Chiefs.

On Sunday, when the Admin Chief releases schedule — go through EVERY DAY of coverage email:

  • Take note of ORs/clinics being covered by Benign and other services for Benign.
  • Note people on your team who are pulled.

Qgenda for ED/Rounding Attending, PM Call Attending, 1J Attending.

  • 1J: PGY-3 on Mondays, PGY-4 on Tuesdays.
  • ORs take priority. If Monday or Tuesday ORs, Benign resident covers and you get coverage for 1J or Emergent ORs.
  • Maria’s Cervix Clinic on Mondays — need to request coverage from 12 PM until PGY-3 done with 1J for Consults/Floor and Emergent OR.

Every day, Benign Consults/Floor and Emergent ORs need coverage 0700–1800:

  • Maria usually covers Consults/Floor 0830–1630 Tuesday–Friday. At the beginning of the block, ask her for her PTO / meetings / appointments so you can request coverage in her absence.
  • The PGY-3 or PGY-4 can serve as both Consult/Floor and Emergent OR backup, or split roles. Emergent OR backup can be from home / not in the GYN work room if you have meetings.
  • Request coverage when not possible for the PGY-3/4 to cover schedule needs.
  • Rarely ORs on Mondays. Usually ORs Thursday. ASC ORs on Fridays.
  • Sample coverage needs: 0700–0830, 0830–1630, 1630–1800.

What ORs does Benign cover?

  • All DUH/ASC Benign GYN and DWHA DUH/ASC/Arringdon ASC (AASC) ORs except for Family Planning Attendings (Gray, Swartz, Hagey).
  • Benign DOES cover Hagey ORs at the ASC only.
  • Sometimes cover PAG ORs (Streich-Tilles) when Monday or REI resident unavailable — see coverage email. Include Streich-Tilles ORs on weekly schedule if covering.
  • Do not cover GYN Attendings at DRH.
  • On Wednesdays, Benign PGY-3 and 4 have option of covering DRH majors. If covering, include on weekly schedule.

Where to put medical students:

  • MS2 — alternate between Floor and ORs. Never send to clinic.
  • MS4:
  • Mondays: 1J AM / Cervix Clinic with Maria PM
  • Tuesdays: if Kerner operating at DRH, send to DRH OR
  • Rest of the week, Floor or OR
  • If they have special interests, can coordinate with Irene for ultrasound template or Carleen for EPAC.
