The night float team (an intern and one senior resident), handles admissions
and cross-coverage issues from 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., Sunday through Thursday nights.
Intern responsibilities include admissions and cross coverage on the wards. This rotation helps to develop essential communication skills among physician colleagues and provides an opportunity to improve efficiency during the admission process.
The senior resident supervises the night float intern and the on-call ICU intern and manages overnight ICU admissions. This is a demanding role, but it is highly valued due to the autonomy it fosters.
