Physicians

This manual sets forth the duties, responsibilities, rights, and privileges for Trainees. It is divided into three sections: the first section provides policies that are unique to Trainees; the second section addresses conduct and performance concerns, including the due process guidelines for non-disciplinary and disciplinary action; and the third section includes links to the Banner Health policies that are applicable to all Trainees.

While participating in the Training Program, Trainees are employed by Banner--University Medical Group (B-UMG) and are afforded the opportunity to practice medicine under specified conditions for a designated period of time. During this time period, Trainees are afforded procedural rights that are outlined in the due process guidelines.

The due process guidelines include information on disciplinary action, impairment, drug and alcohol testing, administrative leaves, and suspension and revocation of medical licenses.

The ACGME grants a status of “Recognition” to ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institutions that offer NST Programs and are in substantial compliance with the ACGME Recognition Requirements for Sponsoring Institutions with NST Program for J-1 Visa Sponsorship. 

Attending physicians and residents participating in an educational clerkship must understand the learning objectives for that clerkship, as well as the broader program objectives of the College of Medicine - Tucson curriculum. This policy states that requirement, and defines processes to ensure that it is met.
