second years either in the
department or on other rotations.
They can also ask a third year to work shifts
for them. Third years can only trade shifts with other third
years. Exceptions must be approved by the residency director or designee.
One of the chief residents will review all requests
in a timely manner and notify resident of approval.
Residents should do not make any firm travel plans until approval has been received.
