IV.B.1. Agreement of Appointment / Contract - Notice of Non-Renewal

The institution must ensure that programs provide the House Officers with a written notice of intent not to renew a House Officer's Agreement of Appointment (contract) in accordance with prevailing ACGME requirements. The Programs will provide their House Officers with as much written notice of the intent not to renew as circumstances will reasonably allow, prior to the end of the agreement of appointment. House Officers must be allowed to file a grievance according to the Sponsoring Institution's procedures (outlined in House Officer Manual) once they receive written notice of non-renewal. Conditions for reappointment and non-renewal of the contract are discussed in the House Officer Manual.
