# The resident doctor week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/resident-doctor-week/

A weekly schedule for doctors in training: 12-hour shifts on four days, an hour of study on two days off, two short gym sessions at 10:00 and a clear family block on Sunday.

## Why it works
- **Nothing else is planned on shift days,** because you will not do it.
- **Two short study blocks** keep exams from piling up.
- **Sunday is protected,** since recovery is what keeps the rest possible.

## Make it yours
- Your rota changes? Put in the shifts first each week, then move the rest around them.
- After a run of nights, swap the gym for a walk.

**How do you study on a resident schedule?**
In short, fixed blocks on days off. An hour you can count on beats a free weekend you never get.
