On your core plastic surgery rotation you will be taking home call. As a PGY 1-3 you will be taking first call but are always assigned a senior (PGY 4-6) who is taking call with you.
As a PGY 4-6 you are either teamed up with a more junior resident or take call alone. Weekends are either a Friday call or a Saturday/Sunday call.
