Common use of Duration of Appointment Clause in Contracts

Duration of Appointment. While it is generally understood that reasonable efforts will be taken to assure that a Resident/Fellow who has met all requirements of his/her training program and conducted himself/herself appropriately will be allowed to complete the training program to which he/she was accepted, this Contract is for (1) one twelve-month training period only and is subject to renewal prior to each academic year by mutual agreement until the training program is successfully completed. The terms and conditions of renewal and the terms and conditions of the Contract for future academic years may change at the University’s discretion or as required by the ACGME. In addition, acceptance into an initial residency or fellowship at the University does not assure acceptance into subsequent advanced training programs, nor does it assure transfer into another training program at the University.
