Administrative Leave or Suspension Sample Clauses

Administrative Leave or Suspension. In urgent circumstances, a trainee may be suspended from all or part of assigned responsibilities by his/her department chair (if applicable), program director, the DIO or Associate DIO, the assistant DIO/ADME for cause, including but not limited to failure to meet general or specific academic standards, failure to provide patient care in a manner consistent with expectations, potential impairment of the trainee, potential misconduct by the trainee, or failure to work in a collegial manner with other providers. In addition, the Hospital Chief Medical Officer, a hospital site director or core faculty member may also place a trainee on administrative leave for an event occurring at that site; however the program director, the site ADME, UCF HR and UCF GME office must be notified immediately. Pay status during suspension or administrative leave is determined according to reason for the disciplinary action, and programs must consult with the consortium GME leadership and UCF human resources about pay status. A trainee may be placed on administrative leave first pending an investigation of an allegation of any of the above concerns and then a decision may be made as to whether to proceed to suspension, remediation/performance plan, or dismissal, as described in other policy sections. A trainee must be notified in writing as to the reason for the administrative leave. The program shall maintain documentation that the trainee has received written notification and a copy of the notification must be sent to the GME Office. Unless otherwise directed by the program director, a trainee suspended from clinical services may not participate in other program activities. If allowed by program director, trainees on administrative leave may participate in educational activities, but not in clinical services. Suspension and/or administrative leave must be time-limited but can be extended as appropriate. Suspension and/or administrative leave may be coupled with or followed by other academic actions such as a Remediation/Performance plan, suspension, termination or conclude in reinstatement. Moonlighting is not allowed while a trainee is suspended or on administrative leave. Trainees may appeal suspensions exceeding 3 months using the grievance procedure. Referrals to the Professional Resources Network (PRN) Impaired Physicians program are not subject to appeal action or grievance process.
