Schedules |
|
- Fellows will begin in mid-August. The first 4 weeks of fellowship will include orientation and onboarding to the various clinical settings as well as daily dedicated teaching and study time on a variety of topics in addiction medicine.
- Fellows will be expected to attend the California Society of Addiction Medicine conference during their first month to help prepare them for patient care in addiction beginning in September.
- Fellows will also have the opportunity to attend other relevant conferences throughout the year which may include the National Healthcare for the Homeless Conference, the American Society of Addiction Medicine Conference, and Harm Reduction International Conference. Fellows will receive $6,000 in CME funds to help pay for attendance at these conferences.
- Beginning mid-September and for the next 12 months, Fellows will rotate in two-week blocks between primarily outpatient and inpatient settings. The two fellows will alternate blocks with essentially a shared practice to allow for continuous provision of care in the outpatient settings.
- During inpatient blocks fellows will provide addiction medicine consultative services for patients at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital. Settings will include the adult medicine service, hospitalist services, ICU, emergency department and labor and delivery. They may also provide daily support/rounds at the Orenda acute detoxification unit.
- For up to a maximum of 8 weeks per year, fellows will serve as either first or second attending on the adult medicine inpatient service, supervising family medicine residents caring for resident, faculty and community clinic patients admitted to Sutter Hospital. In addition, fellows will take occasional night home calls to remotely supervise overnight admissions on the inpatient medicine service. Weekend call will occur approximately once every two months and will include morning sign-out and rounding on new admissions in the morning both Saturday and Sunday as well as phone call overnight.
- During inpatient weeks, fellows are not expected to be available for new in person addiction medicine consultations on weekends or after 5pm, but there may be the need to see patients in the hospital setting before or after clinic hours on some days of the week.
- Fellows will receive at least 36 days of paid time off that includes federal holidays and time for CME. They may schedule full weeks of vacation during inpatient blocks and occasional single days off during outpatient blocks. Both fellows will not be allowed to take PTO at the same time except to attend conferences together.
Outpatient weeks will consist of a variety of ambulatory addiction medicine experiences including administrative time to participate in faculty meetings, faculty development, faculty DEIA training and leadership sessions and weekly dedicated fellows teaching and case conferencing time.
