Conflict of Commitment Policy (COM)

This Conflict of Commitment policy is promulgated to direct College of Medicine - Tucson faculty and their supervisors how much professional absence is permitted, when and whether accrued vacation leave must be used for such absences, and when special permission from a faculty member's Department Head or Dean is required. This policy applies to all COM faculty members, whether full- or part-time.

Substantial Disruptions in Patient Care or Education & Closure or Reduction in Size of a Program Policy

In compliance with the ACGME Institutional Requirements, the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) must establish a written policy that addresses a reduction in size or closure of an ACGME accredited program, or closure of the sponsoring institution. This process should be established to minimize the negative impact on trainees and to ensure the communication of these decisions as soon as possible.
