Anesthesiology residents in all training years are assigned to the On-Call schedule.  The resident call policy is summarized below.

On Call Facilities: Residents on-call are provided with access to the vending, lounge, computer and study facilities. Individual call rooms include televisions, bathrooms and computers in each room, as well as 24-hour access to linens and towels.

On Call Meals: Limited staff are provided with an additional $500 (after taxes) per year for a meal allowance. The money is evenly distributed in every paycheck and is itemized on each pay stub. Limited staff can choose to participate in payroll deduction via their hospital ID badges and may also obtain a Buck ID to use as a debit card system throughout campus.
