TAMC Excel Faculty & Resident Scheduling

Automates faculty and resident half-day assignments directly in Excel for Family Medicine residency block schedules.

Architecture Note

Excel is the communication layer to code. The Excel workbook serves as configuration input - the scheduling engine reads from it and has more detailed logic internally. Think of Excel as the "what" and the code as the "how."

Data Model

See: docs/architecture/HALF_DAY_ASSIGNMENT_MODEL.md

The scheduling system uses persisted half-day assignments with actual dates (not block references). This enables:

• Natural inter-block constraint handling (PCAT/DO carries to next block automatically)
• FMIT spanning blocks without special logic
• Leap year and year boundary handled by date arithmetic

Source Priority (when multiple sources want same slot):

1. preload - FMIT, call, absences - NEVER overwritten
2. manual - Explicit human override
3. solver - Computed by CP-SAT
4. template - Default from WeeklyPattern

C vs AT Distinction (CRITICAL)

This table is the foundation of all scheduling logic.

Key Rules:

• PROC/VAS: +1.0 AT demand (dedicated 1:1 supervision)
• SM: Closed loop - does NOT use AT resources, Tagawa's SM does NOT provide AT

Terminology (CRITICAL - do not confuse):

• PCAT = Post Call Attending Time (NOT Admin) - can precept, provides AT
• DO = Direct Observation (NOT Day Off) - auto-assigned PM after call

Physical Capacity: Max 6 people doing clinical work (C) per half-day. AT does NOT count toward this limit because AT faculty are supervising, not generating their own patient load.

Order of Operations (Canonical)

Phase 1: PRELOAD (locked before solver)

1. Absences (LV, HOL, DEP, TDY)
2. FMIT - both faculty and resident
3. FMIT Fri/Sat call - auto-assigned with FMIT
4. C-I (inpatient follow-up clinic): PGY-1 Wed AM, PGY-2 Tue PM, PGY-3 Mon PM
5. Night Float - full pattern including post-call
6. aSM - Wednesday AM for SM faculty (Tagawa)
7. Conferences (HAFP, USAFP, LEC)
8. Protected time (SIM, PI, MM)

Phase 2: SOLVER (computed)

1. Assign Sun-Thu call (min-gap decay) → auto-generates PCAT baseline
2. Solve outpatient (residents) - solver applies rotation patterns
3. Calculate supervision demand (resident C creates demand)
4. Assign faculty AT (to meet supervision demand)
5. Assign faculty C (personal clinic, counts toward physical capacity)
6. Fill admin time (GME/DFM/SM)

Academic Year Calendar Structure

All blocks start Thursday, end Wednesday (except Block 0 and 13).

Academic Year: July 1 - June 30

Block 0:  July 1 → First Thursday - 1 day
          Variable length (1-6 days)
          Purpose: Orientation, onboarding, calendar fudge factor

Blocks 1-12: Thursday → Wednesday
          Fixed 28 days each (56 half-day assignments per person)

Block 13: Thursday → June 30
          Variable length (28+ days)
          Purpose: Absorb end-of-year remainder

Example AY25-26:

• July 1, 2025 = Tuesday
• Block 0 = July 1-2 (2 days)
• Block 1 = July 3-30 (28 days, Thu-Wed)
• Block 13 absorbs remainder to reach June 30, 2026

Block 0 Logic:

• New intern (no preceding year rotation): Assign FLX
• Returning resident: Follow logic from preceding year rotation

Block 13 Logic:

• Normal assignments (not just administrative)
• Longer than standard 28 days to reach June 30

Build Order (Recommended Workflow)

1. FMIT/FMET first - Lock inpatient faculty assignments
2. Call assignments - Distribute call with equity tracking
3. Everything else - Clinic, AT, admin time

Quick Reference

Priority Order: FMIT > AT (clinic) > Admin (GME/DFM)

Key Constraints:

• Weekly clinic caps vary by faculty (0-4)
• Post-call = PCAT (AM) + DO (PM)
• FMIT weeks = no clinic, OFF Friday after
• All residents/faculty have LEC on Wednesday PM
• Mid-block rotation transitions occur at column 28 (start of week 3)

Row Layout

Column Layout

Date-to-Column Mapping (Block 10: Mar 12 - Apr 8, 2026)

Each date uses 2 columns: AM (even col), PM (odd col+1)

Special Columns:

• Weekend (W): 10-13, 24-27, 38-41, 52-55
• LEC (Wednesday PM): 19, 33, 47, 61
• Mid-block transition: Column 28 (Mar 23)

Faculty Section (Rows 31-43)

See "C vs AT Distinction" table above for foundational rules.

Weekly caps apply to C only (personal clinic), NOT to AT (supervision). If staffing is critical, faculty can do AT all day every day.

If MIN cannot be met: WARN - flag for PD review (e.g., conference week, faculty leave)

Faculty Weekly Target Distribution

Target half-days per week (10 total):

If no call that week: Extra AT slot available

Full-day preference: Faculty prefer full-day C (AM+PM same day) when possible - increases chances of full-day GME and better work-life balance.

Resident Rotation Scheduling (DETAILED)

Rotation Code Mapping

All Known Resident Schedule Codes

Hilo TDY Schedule (Off-site Rotation)

Off-island rotation to Hilo, Big Island.

Pre-departure (Week 1):

• 1st Thursday: Clinic (C)
• 1st Friday: Clinic (C)
• Weekend: Travel to Hilo

During Hilo (Weeks 2-4):

• All slots: TDY

Return (Week 4/5):

• Return Tuesday: Clinic (C) - 4th Tuesday of block
• Less travel time needed than Okinawa

Key Points:

• Need clinic touchpoints before leaving and after returning
• TDY = Temporary Duty (off-site, cannot be scheduled locally)
• Wednesday PM still LEC if in town

Kapiolani L&D Schedule (Intern - PGY-1)

Off-site rotation at Kapiolani Medical Center.

CRITICAL Pattern Summary:

def get_kapiolani(day_of_week, is_am, is_last_wed):
    if is_last_wed:
        return "LEC" if is_am else "ADV"
    if day_of_week == 1:  # Monday
        return "KAP" if is_am else "OFF"
    elif day_of_week == 2:  # Tuesday
        return "OFF"  # Both AM and PM
    elif day_of_week == 3:  # Wednesday
        return "C" if is_am else "LEC"
    else:  # Thu-Sun
        return "KAP"

Key Points:

• Mon PM = OFF (travel back)
• Tue = OFF/OFF (recovery)
• Wed AM = C (continuity clinic, NOT KAP!)
• Thu-Sun = KAP/KAP

L&D Night Float Schedule (R2 - PGY-2)

TAMC Labor & Delivery night shift rotation.

CRITICAL: Friday clinic, NOT Wednesday!

def get_ldnf(day_of_week, is_am, is_last_wed):
    if is_last_wed:
        return "LEC" if is_am else "ADV"
    if day_of_week == 5:  # Friday
        return "C" if is_am else "OFF"  # FRIDAY clinic!
    elif day_of_week in (6, 7):  # Weekend
        return "W"
    else:  # Mon-Thu
        return "OFF" if is_am else "LDNF"

Key Points:

• Friday AM = C (NOT Wednesday like other rotations!)
• Mon-Thu = OFF/LDNF (sleeping days, working nights)
• R2 rotation (not intern)

Night Float Timing (CORRECTED)

Night Float Schedule Structure:

• Starts: Thursday
• Ends: Wednesday (following week)
• Post-call: Thursday after (inter-block day)

C-N Code (Night Float Clinic):

• Thursday PM when oncoming to night float
• Replaces C30 for night float resident
• This preserves 2 weeks of continuity clinic
• Marcy uses C-N as cue to drop C30s from templates

Night Float Week Example:
Thu (start): C-N in PM (oncoming clinic)
Fri-Wed: NF (working nights)
Thu (end): OFF (post-call inter-block)

Houseless Clinic (HLC)

Schedule:

• Monday PM for R2s and R3s only
• Every Monday of every rotation
• One resident (PGY-2 or PGY-3) per slot
• Staff coverage: twice a month/block (intermittent)

Orientation Blocks (Protected Time)

Procedures Orientation (McRae):

• Label: SIM (Simulation)
• McRae needs procedures orientation time
• Sometimes booked accidentally - he says "it's fine" but should be protected

MedsTo Orientation (Montgomery):

• Beginning of each block (timing varies)
• Protected time for medication reconciliation training

CLC (Continuity Learning Curriculum)

Schedule:

• Thursday PM, twice per block
• 2nd Thursday and 4th Thursday (NOT back-to-back weeks)
• NOT on 1st Thursday (beginning of block has problems)

Block Example:
Week 1 Thu PM: NOT CLC (too early)
Week 2 Thu PM: CLC ← First session
Week 3 Thu PM: NOT CLC (gap week)
Week 4 Thu PM: CLC ← Second session

Mid-Block Rotation Transitions

Some residents switch rotations mid-block (at column 28 / Mar 23):

# Check column 1 and 2 for rotation info
first_half = sheet.cell(row=row, column=1).value   # e.g., "Peds Ward"
second_half = sheet.cell(row=row, column=2).value  # e.g., "Peds NF"

MID_BLOCK_COL = 28  # Start of second half

def get_rotation(col, first_rot, second_rot):
    if second_rot and col >= MID_BLOCK_COL:
        return second_rot
    return first_rot

Intern Continuity Clinic (Wednesday AM) - CRITICAL

PGY-1 interns have protected Continuity Clinic on Wednesday mornings.

This is a HARD CONSTRAINT - interns must see their panel patients weekly regardless of rotation.

Wednesday AM for PGY-1:
- Most rotations → C (Continuity Clinic)
- FMC Block 1-6 → C60 (60-min appointments, new intern)
- FMC Block 7-13 → C40 (40-min appointments, experienced intern)
- ER → C30 (30-min appointments)

Exceptions (no Wed AM clinic):
- Night Float schedules (PedW night, NF) → PedW or OFF
- Off-site (Hilo, Kapiolani) → TDY or KAP
- OB Intern → OB Cl
- Transitional → ADM

Senior residents (PGY-2/3) do NOT have this constraint - their Wed AM depends on rotation:

• FMC (R3) → ADM
• FMC (R2) → FLX
• Procedures → SIM
• Sports Med → aSM

Resident Clinic Caps and Flex Requirements

Clinic Half-Days per Week by PGY Level:

R2 on Sports Med: Maximum 3 clinics (not 4)

Flex Time Requirements:

Rotation Fill Patterns

def fill_rotation(sheet, row, rotation, col):
    """Fill a single half-day slot based on rotation type"""
    is_am = (col % 2 == 0)  # Even columns are AM

    if rotation == 'Hilo':
        return 'TDY'
    elif rotation == 'NF':
        return 'OFF' if is_am else 'NF'
    elif rotation == 'FMC':
        return 'C' if is_am else ('CV' if col % 4 == 1 else 'C')
    elif rotation in ['FMIT', 'FMIT 2']:
        return 'FMIT'

    else:
        return rotation  # Use as-is

Workflow

1. Load Block Template2 Sheet

from openpyxl import load_workbook
wb = load_workbook('schedule.xlsx')
sheet = wb['Block Template2']

2. Identify Pre-Blocked Slots

Never overwrite these codes:

3. Apply Call and Post-Call Rules

Call Schedule Structure

• Row 4: Staff Call - contains faculty name at the date column when on call
• Call is typically at the AM column (even col) of the call date

Call Back-to-Back Prevention (HARD CONSTRAINT)

Rule: Don't give faculty call on consecutive days - need gap days between call assignments.

BAD:  Faculty on call Mar 15 AND Mar 17 (only 1 day gap)
GOOD: Faculty on call Mar 15 AND Mar 19 (3 day gap)

Weekend Call Protection

Faculty with "W" (weekend) in their schedule row should NOT be assigned call that day.

• This is a soft preference, not a hard constraint
• Call row (Row 4) is separate from schedule row

FMIT Call Rules (CRITICAL)

FMIT Week Structure:

• Starts: Friday
• Ends: Thursday (following week)
• PC (Post-Call/Day Off): Friday after FMIT ends

During FMIT week, faculty covers:

• Friday night call (first night of FMIT)
• Saturday night call (second night of FMIT)

FMIT faculty CANNOT be placed on call:

• Sunday through Thursday during FMIT (they're on inpatient service)
• The Saturday immediately AFTER their FMIT ends (need recovery)

Example: Faculty on FMIT Fri Mar 13 - Thu Mar 19:
  - Mar 13 (Fri)         ← FMIT starts, covers Fri call
  - Mar 14 (Sat)         ← FMIT covers Sat call
  - Mar 15-19 (Sun-Thu)  ← CANNOT be on call (on FMIT service)
  - Mar 20 (Fri)         ← PC (day off after FMIT)
  - Mar 21 (Sat)         ← CANNOT be placed on call (recovery)

FMIT Weekly Call Pattern Summary

FMIT week = Friday through Thursday
FMIT faculty covers:
  - Friday night call (FMIT start)
  - Saturday night call (FMIT weekend)
  - CANNOT be on call Sun-Thu (on service)
  - PC Friday after (day off)
  - CANNOT be on call Sat after (recovery)

Post-Call Rules (PCAT/DO)

Only applies to non-FMIT faculty:

If faculty on call Night N AND NOT on FMIT:
  Day N+1 AM = PCAT (Post-Call Admin Time)
  Day N+1 PM = DO (Day Off)

FMIT faculty do NOT get PCAT/DO - they continue FMIT coverage.

Post-FMIT Friday Off (PC)

After completing FMIT week, faculty gets Friday off:

FMIT ends Thursday -> Friday = PC (both AM and PM)
This Friday CANNOT have this faculty on call.

Call Assignment Pools

AUTO-ASSIGN Pool (Mon-Thu, Sun):

• KINKENNON
• MCGUIRE
• MCRAE
• MONTGOMERY
• TAGAWA (when not on FMIT/PC)

MANUAL-ONLY Pool (assigned by hand, typically Sundays):

• NAPIERALA
• VAN BRUNT
• LAMOUREUX

SPECIAL RULES Faculty:

Sunday Call Equity Pool

Sundays are AUTO-ASSIGNABLE but tracked separately for equity. No single faculty member should be assigned every Sunday in a block.

Sunday equity tracking:
- Maintain separate sunday_counts vs weekday_counts
- When assigning Sunday, sort by sunday_counts (lowest first)
- Distribute evenly: aim for max 1 Sunday per faculty per block
- W (weekend) in faculty row does NOT block call assignment

Important: The "W" code in a faculty's schedule row indicates weekend/off, but call assignments (row 4) are separate. Faculty can be ON CALL on a day they have "W" in their schedule.

Tagawa Sports Medicine Rules

Tagawa is the Sports Medicine (SM) faculty. She does NOT do regular clinic (C).

CRITICAL: Tagawa does SM REGARDLESS of whether residents are on SM rotation.

• SM is Tagawa's primary clinical work (not C like other faculty)
• 2-4 SM half-days/week independent of residents
• When residents ARE on SM, they must match Tagawa's SM slots

Key Rules:

1. SM requires Tagawa: If a resident is scheduled SM, Tagawa must ALSO be SM that slot
2. No Tagawa = No SM: If Tagawa is blocked (FMIT, PC, LV, etc.), resident cannot do SM - change to C
3. Weekly target: Tagawa needs 2-4 SM slots per week (independent of residents)
4. aSM is different: Academic Sports Med (aSM) = ultrasound teaching, not patient care; Wed AM preload
5. FMIT blocks SM: When Tagawa on FMIT, there can be NO SM that week
6. Call eligible: Tagawa takes call with normal PCAT/DO rules
7. SM is closed loop: Does NOT use AT resources, Tagawa's SM does NOT provide AT for other residents

Tagawa Schedule Codes:

• SM = Sports Medicine (with resident)
• aSM = Academic Sports Med (teaching)
• GME = Admin time (when not SM)
• FMIT = Inpatient team (blocks SM)
• PC = Post-FMIT Friday off

Workflow:

1. Check if resident on SM rotation (column 1)
2. Find slots where both resident has SM AND Tagawa available
3. Assign Tagawa SM to match (3-4 per week)
4. Change resident SM → C where Tagawa unavailable

AT Supervision Ratios (ACGME REQUIREMENT - CANNOT VIOLATE)

This is a HARD CONSTRAINT - minimum supervision ratios required by ACGME.

Resident AT Demand:

Non-Clinic Activities = +1 AT each:

• PROC (Procedures)
• VAS (Vascular)
• SM (Sports Med) - covered by Tagawa, not C faculty
• Any specialty clinic requiring dedicated supervision

Calculation:

Total AT Needed = (PGY-1 count × 0.5) + (PGY-2 count × 0.25) + (PGY-3 count × 0.25) + (PROC/VAS count × 1.0)

ALWAYS ROUND UP - cannot have half a faculty member

Example:

2 PGY-1 in clinic = 1.0 AT
2 PGY-2 in clinic = 0.5 AT
1 PROC resident  = 1.0 AT
--------------------------
Total            = 2.5 AT → Round up to 3 AT minimum

Coverage codes that count as AT:

• C (Clinic)
• PCAT (Post-Call Admin Time) - CAN precept, counts as AT
• CV (Virtual Clinic) - if precepting

Verification: Check rows 91-92 in Block Template2:

• Row 91: "Total Attendings Needed" (calculated demand)
• Row 92: "# Attendings Assigned" (current coverage)

Row 92 must be >= Row 91 for EVERY half-day slot.

Balancing AT: Coverage vs Demand

AT compliance is a two-way equation:

AT Coverage >= AT Demand

If coverage is short, you can EITHER:

1. Increase coverage - Add faculty C (if available within caps)
2. Decrease demand - Reduce resident clinic load

Reducing demand options:

• Move resident from C → ADM/FLX (removes their AT weight)
• Move resident from PROC → C (PROC = +1.0 AT, C = only 0.25-0.5 AT)
• Reduce clinic load on days with limited faculty

Priority: AT compliance > weekly clinic caps > GME preferences

Faculty caps are preferences, not hard constraints. ACGME supervision IS a hard constraint. However, before going over caps, first check if reducing resident demand is feasible.

Example - Mar 13 PM with most faculty at USAFP:

• Only 1 faculty available (LaBounty)
• 7 residents in clinic = ~2.0 AT demand
• Solution: Move 2-3 residents from C → ADM for that slot
• Result: Reduced demand to match available coverage

Rotation Templates as Guidelines

Rotation templates (column 1-2) are GUIDELINES, not strict requirements. The actual schedule may vary based on:

• Faculty availability (e.g., no SM when Tagawa unavailable)
• AT demand needs
• Call/post-call blocking
• Conference/educational requirements

Reading FMIT Schedule

Check "FMIT Attending (2025-2026)" sheet for weekly assignments:

• Column C: Week 1 attending
• Column D: Week 2 attending
• Column E: Week 3 attending
• Column F: Week 4 attending

Example Block 10:

4. Assign Faculty Clinic (C)

For each weekday half-day:

1. Get available faculty (not blocked, under weekly cap)
2. Sort by remaining weekly capacity (highest first)
3. Assign top 2 faculty
4. Mark cells with "C"

5. Fill Faculty Admin Time

For remaining empty faculty cells:

• Most faculty → "GME"
• McGuire → "DFM"

6. Fill Resident Schedules

For each resident:

1. Read rotation from column 1 (and column 2 if mid-block switch)
2. For each column 6-61:
   • Skip if blocked (W, LV, LEC, etc.)
   • Apply rotation pattern based on AM/PM
   • Handle mid-block transitions at column 28
3. Ensure LEC on all Wednesday PM slots (cols 19, 33, 47, 61)

7. Last Wednesday of Block Rules (CRITICAL)

Final Wednesday of block (Week 5) has special rules:

All Residents:

• AM: Lecture (LEC) - NOT clinic
• PM: Advising (ADV)

⚠️ Common Error: Scheduling morning clinic on last Wednesday - this is WRONG.

Last Wednesday Example (Apr 8):
  AM: LEC (Lecture) - protected
  PM: ADV (Advising)

8. Internal Medicine Last Wednesday Exception

Special Rule for IM rotation:

• Final Wednesday of IM rotation → Tuesday PM clinic instead
• Reason: Preserves continuity week count (otherwise only 3 weeks instead of 4)
• "Inverted day" logic - Thursday starts new week in scheduling
• Can be shorter (2 hours of patient care)

IM Resident Last Week Example:
  Tue PM: C (moved from Wed)
  Wed AM: LEC
  Wed PM: ADV

Manual Scheduling Workflow (Reference)

This is the typical workflow when scheduling by hand. The automated system should follow a similar approach:

Step 1: Load Non-Negotiables

• Absences (LV)
• FMIT assignments
• Conferences (HAFP, USAFP)
• Holidays (HOL)
• Protected time (LEC, SIM)

Step 2: Assign Sun-Thu Call

• Distribute call equitably across auto-assign pool
• Track weekday and Sunday counts separately
• Sunday = separate equity pool (max 1 per faculty per block)
• Result: Generates PCAT for every working day AM (baseline 1 AT)

Step 3: Load Resident Templates

• Apply rotation patterns from columns 1-2
• These are GUIDELINES, not strict requirements
• Adjust based on availability (e.g., no SM if Tagawa blocked)

Step 4: Calculate AT Demand

• See AT Supervision Ratios above
• Check rows 91-92 for demand vs coverage

Step 5: Assign Faculty Clinic (C)

• Prioritize slots with higher resident load
• Prefer full-day C when possible (faculty preference)
  • Full-day C increases chances of getting full-day GME
  • Better work-life balance for faculty
• Keep physical clinic ≤6 people

Step 6: Fill Admin Time

• GME for most faculty
• DFM for McGuire
• Fill remaining empty slots after C assignments

Physical Clinic Constraint

See "C vs AT Distinction" table for authoritative rules.

Max 6 people doing clinical work (C) per half-day slot. AT does NOT count toward this limit.

Why this matters: Staffing constraints limit how many patients can be seen. More than 6 physicians overwhelms support staff.

Validation Checklist

After completing assignments:

• No faculty exceeds weekly C cap (MIN and MAX)
• Post-call blocks (PCAT/DO) applied correctly
• FMIT faculty have no C on FMIT days
• No assignments on weekends (W columns)
• LEC on all Wednesday PM slots (cols 19, 33, 47, 61)
• PGY-1 interns have Continuity Clinic on Wednesday AM (C/C40/C60)
• Resident rotations match column 1/2 rotation names
• Mid-block transitions applied at column 28
• Pre-blocked codes not overwritten
• ACGME: AT coverage >= AT demand (Row 92 >= Row 91) for every slot
• Physical clinic: ≤6 people doing clinical work per slot
• Sunday call distributed (max 1 per faculty)
• No back-to-back call (need gap days between assignments)
• Night float starts Thursday, ends Wednesday, post-call Thursday
• C-N used for oncoming night float (Thursday PM)
• Last Wednesday: AM=LEC, PM=ADV (no morning clinic)
• IM residents: Tuesday PM clinic instead of final Wednesday
• R2 clinic caps: no more than 3 per week
• HLC assigned Monday PM for R2/R3
• CLC on 2nd and 4th Thursday PM (not back-to-back)

Common Issues

"Not enough coverage": Check if faculty are on leave (LV), USAFP, or DEP.

"Weekly cap exceeded": Recalculate weekly totals. Caps are PER WEEK, not total.

"Post-call conflict": If faculty on call Sunday, Monday AM/PM both blocked.

"Wrong rotation code": Check column 1 for rotation name, verify mapping exists.

"Mid-block not switching": Ensure column 2 has second rotation and col >= 28.

ROSETTA Stone Testing Approach

Ground truth file: docs/scheduling/Block10_ROSETTA_CORRECT.xlsx

This file contains the CORRECT Block 10 schedule with all patterns applied correctly. Use it for TDD:

1. Parse ROSETTA to get expected values
2. Run expansion service to get actual values
3. Compare cell-by-cell
4. Fix until all tests pass

Test files:

• backend/tests/scheduling/test_expansion_vs_rosetta.py - 24 parameterized tests
• backend/app/utils/rosetta_parser.py - Parses ROSETTA xlsx

Run tests:

cd backend
pytest tests/scheduling/test_expansion_vs_rosetta.py -v

Key patterns verified by ROSETTA:

Priority rules (highest first):

1. Last Wednesday → LEC/ADV (cols 60-61)
2. Wednesday PM → LEC (cols 19, 33, 47)
3. Rotation-specific patterns (KAP, LDNF, NF)
4. Intern Wed AM continuity (PGY-1 → C)
5. Mid-block transitions (col 28+)
6. Default rotation pattern

Edge Cases and Resolutions

Call/Post-Call Boundary Conditions

FMIT Week Boundary Conditions

SM/Tagawa Dependencies

FMIT Clinic (C-I) by PGY Level

C-I is PRELOADED, not solved. These slots are locked before solver runs.

Inter-Block Continuity

Physical Capacity

Holidays and Special Days

Resident Call System (Separate from Faculty)

Resident call is Chief-assigned and follows different rules:

• L&D 24-hour call (Friday)
• Night Float coverage
• Weekend call patterns

Note: Resident call is tracked in resident_call_preloads table, separate from faculty call.
