🦄 The Survival Spellbook

Expected in all primary units: Fri PM → Sat AM · Sat PM → Sun AM · Sun PM → Mon AM.

On nights, or switching onto another primary service? Post-call round on your primary service.

Can: trade cross-cover / jeopardy shifts. On primary service? Trades need direct PD approval — assume no unless leadership says yes.

Cannot trade a jeopardy shift if it means: multiple days in a row · you’re post-call · switching to primary service the next day · a duty-hour violation · a cancelled continuity clinic (CCC).

All requests go through QGenda → routes to Johanna + the PD team. Questions? E-mail Johanna.

PGY-1 Interns cover interns: Mon–Fri AM/PM during subspecialty clinic, PPMH, and Advocacy (weekends too once 24+4s begin in March). Rotating pool — once called in, you drop to the bottom for 24 hours. Seniors step in only if the whole intern pool is used within 24h, or on weekends.

PGY-2/3 Any senior NOT on inpatient, call-free, or vacation. When you’re up: reachable within 15 min, at work within 1 hour. Unreachable without telling the PDs/APDs first? 2nd call activates — and you owe them TWO shifts.

Payback The originally scheduled resident pays it back. Agree within 2 weeks, e-mail the plan to program leadership (chief e-mail + Johanna + Dr. Gustafson), cc the resident who covered.

Call the OpenPhone ≥ 2 hours before your shift. Also notify your senior & attending (interns) or co-senior & attending (seniors) — and the team in house via page/phone if it’s same-day. They’re expecting you at sign-out.

Call as early as possible, even if you might feel better — contingency plans take time. Notify the OpenPhone, the current PED attending or resident in charge, AND Dr. Patricia Padlipsky — cell (310) 930-6387, ppadlipsky@dhs.lacounty.gov. Peds ED: x65058.

OpenPhone + the subspecialty attending directly, AND e-mail the program coordinator (HarborPedsResidency@dhs.lacounty.gov).

OpenPhone + the subspecialty attending (pager or phone), AND e-mail the coordinators. Clinic phone numbers live with the subspecialty clinic schedule.

OpenPhone + your continuity clinic attending. Coverage or rescheduling will be arranged; if patients need rescheduling, the program will tell you what’s needed when you’re back.
