I rotated at providence a couple years ago and Surgery wasn't that bad. We had about 5-6 calls a month randomly assigned and I think about 2 of those were weekend calls. Day started around 5 a.m. and left around 5 p.m. but could be later.. I came in every saturday just because I had a team that expected that but other students didn't have to. All and all not a bad schedule compared to many others I've heard from.
