Time Away Requests

Residents must fill out a Time Away Request Form for any planned absence or change in planned absence (i.e., meetings, vacation, maternity leave, paternity leave, interviews, etc.) in order for appropriate planning and scheduling.  (See Appendix M).  Failure to complete at least 60 days before the requested time away may result in a request not being approved. If a clinic is to be bumped less than 60 days in advance, the resident must also get chairman approval per protocol.

Residents are allowed to request one ½ day away for CORE Exam testing at a Pearson Vue testing center during  business hours. A Time Away form must be submitted to Program Coordinator for this request. Residents must not schedule testing during continuity clinic times to avoiding closures of their own clinics. In the event that scheduling does not allow that, you must notify PD/APD/PC as soon as possible for approval.
