House Officers are granted leave benefits as described in this manual. Each type of leave will be monitored and granted in accordance with this policy, the needs of the Program, and the provisions of applicable law. Whether training time missed as a result because of extended leave can be made up by the House Officer is determined by the Department Head and/or Program Director in accordance with the requirements of the particular Program, the American Board of Medical Subspecialties and the provisions of applicable law.

For that reason, House Officers should familiarize themselves with their Board policies section regarding the effects of leave on board eligibility. Discussions should occur with the training Program Director regarding the potential impact of the House Officers leave on board eligibility.
