  18. WEEKENDS: • During weekends you should round on patients that you have been following during the week. • In general these two rotations have a light patient load and most of the time you won’t have any patients to follow during the weekend. • If at any point during these rotations you see yourself breaking the ACGME 4 free days in a month rule because of weekend coverage let us know and other residents will cover for you. • On those same lines, if you want to take a certain day or weekend off let us know in advance and we will plan for cross coverage. But please don’t abuse this.
