Schedule Requests for Residents 2025-2026

Dear Residents,

Please complete this form to submit your requests for your block schedule for the 2025-2026 academic year.  We do our best to accommodate requests that impact your medical education, career, and significant personal life events.  Day-to-day scheduling will be arranged in the future by the Chief Residents (e.g. so please do not request specific weekends off unless it is your wedding).  Resident requests will be prioritized based on the order they are received.

The deadline for submission is March 17, 2025.

Required responses are marked “(required).” If you have any trouble with this form, please email Ehab Salib and Dr. Ta.

    First, let's update your information

    Has your home address changed?(required)

    Has your mobile phone number changed?(required)

     

    Okay, let's get an update according to your level of training

    What will be your PGY level in the 2025-2026 academic year?(required)

    Now, let's consider some factors for scheduling

    After this academic year, please check which rotations you STILL NEED to rotate on:
    (because you've never been assigned or were on service for less than 5 working days)

    Do you anticipate any personal life events?
    (response optional but may help with planning)

    And finally, let's discuss some specific scheduling requests

    Remember, you will remain in the same Pod. Therefore your +1 Ambulatory weeks are set, and you can find out which weeks those are using this chart. Other rotations are generally 2-week blocks and should not overlap +1 Ambulatory weeks.

    Vacations and Electives: The Program will do its best to accommodate requests, and we will prioritize requests that impact your career path and completion of training. There will be a limit on the number of vacationers or electives in any given block, particularly November-January and April-May. Vacation preferences in June, July, and August are typically easy to accommodate. Elective time will be scheduled but the specific elective choice must be submitted for approval to the Chief Residents. Vacation and elective blocks should not overlap +1 Ambulatory weeks.

    Ambulatory Weeks for 2025-2026

    Instructions:

    1. Identify your +1 Ambulatory weeks using the chart.

    2. Specify your preference for your first and second vacation blocks (each two weeks).
