Yes, pathology residents do have to take call. But it will be nothing like what many of my friends will be going through this year doing q3 or q4. I got an email today that the call schedule is in the works and I can expect to be on call q13 + some weekends/holidays. I have no idea what this call truly entails other than answering many pages in the night regarding blood products, but I am sure I will find out all of the gory details in due time. It should be interesting.
