    Good Morning!

     

    Can anyone please point me in the direction of where to find the number of days a resident is allowed to miss before extending their time in the program.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Please check the ABOS Rules – they set a great guideline.

    You may also write the ABOS and submit for exceptions – validating reasoning should someone not meet the 46 week rule (or the rule of averaged over the course of residency).

    https://www.abos.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Part-I-and-II-RP-2024_06_05.pdf

    Page 5. 3. Each program may provide individual leave and vacation times for the resident in
    accordance with overall institutional policy. However, one year of credit must include
    no more than 50 weeks of full-time graduate medical education per year; and at least
    46 weeks of full time graduate medical education per year; averaged over five years.
    Graduation prior to 60 months from initiation of training is not allowed

    Hope this helps.

    Have a great weekend.

    Amy
