Hello
During PG (MD/MS) , your working hours depend on your specialty, hospital and workload.
Here’s a general breakdown:
1. Regular Duty : 8–12 hours per day (morning rounds, patient management, surgeries or procedures).
2. On-Call Duties : Can extend to 24–36 hours in critical departments like surgery, medicine and ICU.
3. Night Shifts : Often once or twice a week, lasting from evening to morning.
4. Emergency Duties : You may have sudden extended shifts if patient load is high.
Yes, you can go to your room after duty but during busy rotations, you might be called back. Work-life balance improves in later years of residency.
Hope this gives you the clarity you need.
