Schedule Changes

From the housestaff manual:

The Chief Residents are responsible for making the Resident and Intern schedules for each academic year. In making the schedules, the primary responsibility of the Chief Residents is to:

1. Ensure that all the minimum training requirements set forth by the ACGME and ABIM are met

2. Ensure that all teaching services are fully staffed throughout the year

3. Ensure the safest care is being delivered to patients at all times. 

At least one month prior to creating the yearly schedules, the Chief Residents will send a schedule request form to the Residents. This form will guide scheduling assignments; however, it does not guarantee a request will be granted. Once the Yearly (Block) Schedule is released, all schedule changes, new requests, or switches need to be made in writing(email) to the Chief Residents at least 3 months prior to the proposed change.

Please note:

1. Any request for schedule changes cannot negatively affect the Residents’ clinic coverage or result in closure of his/her clinic. 

2. Schedule changes, new requests, or switches need to be made in writing(email) to the Chief Residents at least 3 months prior to the proposed change

3. The Chief Residents reserve the right to deny, modify, or accept the proposed changes. 

This policy is to preserve the integrity of #1-3 above. The official schedule is available online on the housestaff website.
