What programs operate on weekends? Is it mostly trauma that they do on the weekends?

When not operating on weekends, what responsibilities does a chief have? Rounding on patients?

All programs will operate on the weekends if indicated. It could be trauma, infections, or maybe an occasional planned private patient. It really depends on the surgeons and circumstance.

The chief resident runs the service. Most if not all things from residents travel up the ranks through the chief to the attendings and then back down the ladder. Rounding is done by the younger surgeons on the team who report to their uppers.
