IV.  (C4) Rotation

This month allows the senior residents to choose between a month of Interventional Radiology, 1 month of Float services, or 2 weeks of IR and 2 weeks of Float.

Float Rotation:

Typically, the float resident will be assigned to the service that the on call resident from the night before was assigned.  Therefore, each day will be a different service and it allows the resident to experience a schedule that might typically be encountered in private practice or academics.
