Here's mine:

On call one to two times per week. If you spend the night at the hospital, you get a post call (meaning you can leave sometime between noon and 3:30 the next day depending on the case load), but if you don't stay at the hospital the entire night, you don't get a post-call. (Sometimes, there's a shortage of call rooms, so they have us go home around 9 or 10 rather than sleeping at the hospital.) We round between 6 and 6:30, which means we get there to start pre-rounding around 5. On non post-call days, we get out anywhere between 5 and 7. Occasionally, if it's an exceptionally light day, they'll let us out around 4. Some of the residents also expect us to come in and round on Saturday and Sunday as well....it's jut the luck of the draw as to whether or not you'll get one of them. Overall: 70-80 hours/week.
