This is Jeopardy! A flexible coverage-based schedule model to address wellness for pathology training programs.

ABSTRACT: Scheduling rotations for a pathology training program involves balancing educational requirements, service coverage, and paid time off (PTO). Absences can affect training as residents cross-cover, managing multiple services at once. Other specialties utilize a "Jeopardy" based system for covering absences. In this system, residents on outpatient services are "jeopardized" to cover inpatient services for trainee absences. Borrowing this concept, we created a schedule model with a "Jeopardy-Elective" (JE) rotation to support resident absences. Prior to 2018-19, our residency program consisted of a 12 month-long rotation schedule. We adopted a 13 four-week block rotation model system, adding four JE rotations per resident over the course of training. The JE resident covered services during tr
