The PGY2 Emergency Medicine resident will staff ~50 to 60 total shifts throughout the year, including on-call shifts. This will include two holiday shifts. The RPD will pre-determine the shifts for the Emergency Medicine resident based on staffing needs. Additionally,  

1. The Emergency Medicine pharmacy resident will staff two non-consecutive weekends per 8-week schedule for a total of approximately 30 shifts.
2. The Emergency Medicine pharmacy resident will cover approximately 10-12 PharmD on-call shifts (one Thursday per month). 
3. Any necessary or desired alterations to the scheduled weekend staffing must be approved by the manager and RPD. 
4. The Emergency Medicine resident will be eligible for additional pay for any staffing or on-call shifts outside of the pre-specified staffing requirements and residency rotational responsibilities, pending RPD and manager approval. 

Staffing will occur in the Emergency Department pharmacy (Nebraska Medical Center ED and/or Bellevue Medical Center’s ED). Shifts at Bellevue Medical Center will count toward the Longitudinal Community Emergency Medicine rotation rather than resident staffing shifts, as this longitudinal experience has replaced a 4-week Community Emergency Medicine Rotation.
