Hospital ER Call coverage is compensated separately by the hospital and the current rotation is 1:6, and would remain 1:6 with the new physician.  Office call is currently 1:4 and would be 1:5. During a normal week, the surgeons spend two days in surgery and three days seeing patients in the office. This will likely be the same schedule for the incoming surgeon as well.
