Board Eligibility. It is the intent of the Residency that every Resident who is accepted into a training program will progress through the curriculum and graduate on time. Each training program had its individual rules, established by its respective Residency Review Committee (“RRC”) and Specialty Board that can impact the trainee’s ability to be considered as Board Eligible at the natural end of a training cycle. These rules generally revolve around time away from the program, the length of time a Resident can be absent from continuity clinics, or the total number of absent days that a trainee can have in any given academic year. Each Resident must become familiar with the rules for their specific discipline. The rules can be found in the specific requirements of the program as outlined on the ACGME and Specialty Board websites. Resident’s Program Director can help the Resident understand the complexities and options afforded to the Resident by these governing bodies. Violation of these guidelines is not an option for the Residency. If absences for illness, maternity or paternity leaves, brings the Resident into conflict with the established rules, Resident’s residency will be extended in such a way as to heal the breach and make the Resident Board Eligible. In this process, Resident must understand that Resident may not become Board Eligible at the time of Resident’s originally scheduled graduation date. Resident’s Program Director will assist Resident in calculating the extra training time that may be needed to meet the curricular training requirements of Resident’s specific RRC and Specialty Board. Residency Program Sponsor will only certify Residents as Board Eligible when the Resident meets these externally-imposed requirements.
Board Eligibility. It is the intent of the Hospital that every resident and fellow who is accepted into a training program will progress through the curriculum and graduate on time. The training program has its individual rules, established by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ("ACGME"),that can impact the trainee's ability to be considered as "board eligible" at the natural end of a training cycle. These rules generally revolve around time away from the program, the length of time a resident can be absent from continuity clinics, or the total number of absent days that a trainee can have in any given academic year. Each resident and fellow must become familiar with the rules for their specific discipline. The Program Director may help the Resident understand the complexities and options afforded to the Resident by these governing bodies, but the Resident acknowledges that the Resident is alone responsible for compliance with these rules and that the Hospital cannot depart from the guidelines established by such governing bodies. If absences for illness, maternity or paternity leaves, or taking back-to- back vacations in two academic years brings the Resident into conflict with these established rules, the Residency Program may need to be extended so as to account for such breach and render the Resident "board eligible". In connection with the foregoing, the Resident acknowledges and agrees that the Resident may not become "board eligible" at the time of the Resident's originally- scheduled graduation date. The Program Director will assist the Resident in calculating the extra training time that may be needed to meet the curricular training requirements of the Resident's applicable RRC. The Hospital will only certify the Resident as "board eligible" if and when the Resident meets these externally-imposed and other applicable requirements.
