Policies

A comprehensive collection of policies may be found in the Policies and Procedures Manual for house officers, which is published annually. A brief overview of ACGME mandated duty hours follows; for all other issues please refer to the downloadable manual.

Duty Hours

All of our service sites (Medicine and Pediatrics) have a night float system. While on inpatient rotations, interns are encouraged to participate in all new admission as well as management of floor call in order to prepare for their supervisory upper level years.  LSUHSC Med-Peds follows all duty hour requirements set by ACGME.
