Frequently Asked Questions
How long are shifts
Shift length varies depending on the ED with 8-hour, 10-hour and occasional 12-hour shifts. In general, ED interns work 10-hour shifts while seniors work 8-hour shifts.
Are residents allowed to moonlight?
Yes, opportunities for in-house moonlighting are available to senior residents in good academic standing.
How many residents per year? How long is the residency program?
Since the Hahnemann closure in July 2019, we are proud to have expanded our residency to 17 residents each academic year. We are a 3-year ACGME program.
Where are the clinical sites located?
Refer to our Clinical Experiences for more information about each hospital, including locations for each.
Did residents have adequate PPE during COVID-19?
Yes, at Jefferson we have had a consistent supply of PPE (gowns, N95s, & face-shields). In fact, Jefferson ED residents are some of the only residents to have our own PAPR hoods. Residents are never put in a position where they have to compromise their safety to provide patient care.
Do you need a car?
Not necessarily, though most residents do end up having access to a car during their residency at Jefferson - Center City. As interns, a car is needed mainly needed for your first month of Peds EM at A.I. duPont in Wilmington, DE. Some residents without a car choose to borrow or rent during this month. As seniors, almost all off-service sites are accessible by public transportation, though having access to a car will make your life easier during those rotations.
Are you given any elective time?
PGY-2 residents have two weeks of elective time and PGY-3 are allotted four weeks. In the past residents have used this time to pursue fellowship interests, electives at Jefferson, as well as international opportunities.
