A resident requesting days off their assigned rotation for any given reason (stat, personal, conference, emergency, study, flex) must ensure that the Request for Leave form is completed and signed. Stat days worked and being taken in lieu must be taken during the same rotation that the stat was worked. This should be arranged at least 14 days in advance of the stat day taken.
Leave requests for conferences, personal, flex, or study days must be applied for 30 days in advance. This is because the Program Coordinator often begins creating the resident’s schedule for specific rotations 4 weeks in advance of that rotation.
The process for checking your leave requests is as follows:
Check with with the Staff you are scheduled to work with
Check with the Program Coordinator
Fill out Leave Request Form
Forward completed form to the Program Coordinator
As per PARA agreements, you are entitled to the following:
1 Float Day
3 Flex Days
20 Vacation Days
1 Lieu Day for every named holiday that is worked
You may be granted study days for Royal College Exams, with the approval from the Program Director.
