As a matter of scheduling, the second year resident's typical day is similar to the first year. Your role in inpatient care is, however, a very different one. As the team leader you supervise a team of interns and serve as a role model to the junior residents. Also, as a second year resident you will complete some of your required and elective subspecialty rotations (see third year).

As in the first year, you will continue to follow your regular patient panel in the general pediatric clinic.

Call:

Second year residents are on call every fourth night while assigned to floors and ICUs. During elective months, residents will complete One and one–half full weekend ED calls.
