Spanish term or phrase: guardias de puertas
A text from Spain speaks of the different "guardias" or shifts that the medical residents have to cover and one is "guardias de puertas", I need to understand what it is and especially what is the term in Engish.

El residente participará en las guardias de la especialidad durante los cinco años de su formación, según las características propias de cada unidad docente acreditada, salvo en el primer año que podrá realizar guardias de cirugía (las ***guardias de puertas*** en esta última especialidad no deberán ser superiores a 1 mes)

Thanks so much!!

Explanation:
Muchos de los residentes que leéis esta página las habréis pasado canutas en las llamadas "guardias de puerta", que no es otra cosa que las guardias en el Servicio de Urgencias.
http://residentesdedermatologia.blogspot.com.co/2006/10/el-p...

de tanto escuchar a mi marido, que es médico y empezó haciendo guardias en la emergencia, ellos dicen "en la puerta" como forma habitual de referirse al departamento de emergencia, porque es la puerta a la que llegan las ambulancias.

(but shift is more appropriate than duty, here)

As a Family Medicine Resident you may have a clinic from 8am-1pm, and then are expected to work an ER shift from 4pm-midnight on the same day.

agree  neilmac: Although "shift" per se is "turno". I'd prefer something like "standby ER shift" myself, but that's not paramount.

Explanation:
I'm basing my guess on our chess playing colleague's reference. (Las guardias de puerta (sin busca localizador ya que solo atiendes a pt que van a urgencias).
In other words, they don't have a beeper, and are only on duty at the ER department doors. So, they have to "stand by"the doors, QED.
Another option could be "door duty".

In fact, "estar de guardia" actually means "to be on standby". Although hospital staff may refer to the shift as the "guardia", the actual meaning is "standby", and the word for shift in Spanish is "turno".

Other expressions meaning "de guardia" include "on call"....

And IMHO "standby" would have solved this asker's dilemma:

El número máximo de guardias será de 60 al año (5 /mes) para R5 y R4 y para
los R2 y R3 que participen en Guardias de primera atención médica (Puertas de
Urgencias) y de 48 al año (4/mes) para todos los demás R2 y R3 y para los R1. - http://www.areasaludbadajoz.com/docencia_investigacion/comis...
Cuando uno empieza la residencia las guardias se ven con auténtico terror, no tienes experiencia-carne de cañón, mano de obra barata-, te echan a la arena-servicio de urgencias- como los romanos -sanidad pública- hacían con los primeros cristianos-residentes de primer año-. - http://tribulacionesdeuncirujano.blogspot.pt/2010/09/las-gua...
