Call Schedule

Community is our call

The Novant Health Charlotte family medicine residency's approach to call reflects our commitment to patient-centered care and community connection. A few times per year, each third-year resident serves as the back-up physician for the nurse phone triage team, taking phone calls from home (with an attending also ready for phone calls when needed).

Rest & balance are priorities
At least 10 hours off between shifts
1 full day off every 7 days
I did a fourth-year rotation with the program and loved every minute! Faculty and residents were caring and made me feel like a valued member of the team. Everyone was very involved in making sure I had ample learning opportunities, and they made me feel comfortable when asking questions.

I like the emphasis on outpatient medicine, amazing community programs and the family environment endorsed by the residents. I was met with a warm welcome, witnessed firsthand a sense of community between the residents and faculty. Dr. Higdon is passionate about teaching and resident wellness.

I was blown away during my rotation. Residents are genuinely happy; everyone I met is kind and welcoming. They don’t just “talk the talk”: they get it right in resident wellness and a supportive environment. Faculty/attending mentorship in outpatient care will shape me into an exceptional physician.
Gerardo Perez, DO, Family Medicine Resident, PGY-3
During my interview I connected with the program’s culture and resident well-being. I experienced the family-like atmosphere among residents, faculty and staff during my in-person visit. I knew this was the place I would want to call home for the next three years.
