Conditions of Reappointment and Promotion. Residents are first and foremost learners and are expected to pursue the acquisition of competencies that will qualify them for careers in their chosen specialties. In addition, residents must adhere to standards of professional conduct appropriate to their level of training. Program appointment, advancement, and completion are not assured or guaranteed to any resident. Promotion to the next level of training is based on the achievement of program-specific competence and performance parameters via evaluation, including specialty- specific Milestones, as determined by the Program Director and/or program Clinical Competency Committee (CCC). Unsatisfactory resident performance can result in required remedial activities, temporary suspension from duties, non-promotion, non-reappointment, or dismissal from the training program.

Unsatisfactory resident performance can result in required remedial activities, temporary suspension from duties, non-promotion, nonreappointment, or termination of appointment and residency education. Due process refers to an individual's right to be adequately notified of charges or proceedings against that individual and the opportunity to respond to these actions. The policies and procedures described in the Academic and Professional Action Policy are the exclusive means of review of academic actions within SJMC-sponsored training programs, and are designed to ensure that actions which might adversely affect a resident’s status are fully reviewed and affirmed by neutral parties while at the same time ensuring patient safety, quality of care, and the orderly conduct of training programs. In the case of non-renewal of appointment, nonpromotion to the next training level, or dismissal, the program will provide the Resident with notice of its intent promptly, and in the most expeditious manner possible. The notification will be by letter to the Resident and will contain the reasons for the non-renewal of appointment, non-promotion or dismissal. Residents who desire to voluntarily leave the program prior to completion of the training necessary for certification of the specialty are expected to discuss this action with the Program Director at the earliest possible time, preferably by January 1 of the training year. In this circumstance, residents are expected to complete the training year of their current appointment, unless an earlier resignation is mutually agreed upon by the Resident and Program Director. Residents are not required to sign a non-competition guarantee or restrictive covenant by the Sponsoring Institution or any of its ACGME programs as a condition of appointment.
