Night Float Call for Neurosurgical Resident Training

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Evan McNeil, a medical student at Dartmouth, discusses the Night Float call format and its impact on neurosurgical resident training. He conducted a survey and found that 39% of neurosurgery programs have adopted some form of Night Float. Smaller programs with smaller call pools were more likely to adopt Night Float. The main reason for switching to Night Float was to increase duty hour compliance. McNeil assessed the effects of Night Float on resident experience in the operating room and found that more senior residents had more time in the OR after the switch. Duty hour violations decreased non-significantly after implementing Night Float. Overall, Night Float is considered a viable alternative for overnight coverage in neurosurgical residencies.
