10 common overnight calls
I’m an Internal Medicine resident who has trained in both the UK and Canada.
A lot of my teaching focuses on the gap between knowing the medicine and knowing what to actually do next.
I built the Night Shift Starter Pack to be the kind of resource I wish I had when I first started taking overnight calls.
