Accommodation - Medical Limitations

The Entities recognize that the training for Resident Physicians is such that an extended absence or modification due to medical limitations could present difficulties in the completion of the training program. Under certain circumstances, it may be beneficial to the Resident Physician, the Entities and Faculties to have the training modified to enable the Resident Physician to complete training.

In such cases, the Resident Physician affected, or who anticipates such need, shall review the issue with her/his Program Director. The Program Director may require the Resident Physician to provide medical confirmation of limitations giving rise to the need for a modification of training, including the elimination of on-call duty if necessary. The Program Director shall modify training consistent with the medical limitations presented.
