Purpose
To define who determines the holiday time off policy for residents/fellows (trainees) enrolled in University of Minnesota Medical School Graduate Medical Education training programs.

Policy
Holiday scheduling for trainees is rotation specific by program.  The educational requirements and the 24 hour operational needs of the hospital are taken into consideration when scheduling holiday time off. 

Please see your Program Manual for specific departmental policies and procedures.

Program Responsibility
Programs are responsible for tracking time off for all leaves to insure that specialty board requirements are met prior to graduation from the program.

Programs must work with their trainees to report all leaves in the Residency Management Suite (RMS) according to instructions received by MMCGME Services.  Programs must also forward documentation to MMCGME Services for leaves that extend the trainee’s time in the program.
