It is important to be aware of and ensure student working hours are observed. The policy states the following:
- Students should not work more than 11 hours on days when not on-call, or more than 55 hours a week (not including evening, night or weekend call)
- Students should not exceed an average of one in four on-call (night and weekend)
- Students are automatically excused before 10:00 a.m. post call
- The Medical Student Duty Hours & Important Dates handout provides a helpful summary of this policy.
