Harbor-UCLA PSYCHIATRY
CALL SCHEDULE
Call responsibilities are in-house, primarily in the Harbor Psychiatric Emergency Services Unit (PER) on weeknights, weekends, and holidays. Nurses, physicians, and caseworkers are centrally co-located in the PER. Call duties mostly include new and follow-up evaluations of patients within the Adult Psychiatric ER, the Adolescent Psychiatric ER, and consultations to the adult and pediatric medical emergency room. Call responsibilities also include covering as-needed issues from the Inpatient and Consultation-Liaison Services. Interns and residents take call shifts in-house and may contact child fellows and faculty available at all times by phone for clinical issues and supervision of cases.
