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.

In-training examination (ITE) scores are often used as a metric to determine the readiness of trainees to successfully pass board certification examinations. To help ensure trainees successfully pass board certification exams, this policy establishes a process for program directors to identify and remediate trainees with subthreshold ITE scores to ensure success on board certification examinations.

The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson (UACOM-T) Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) sets forth this policy to address potential conflicts of interest arising from interpersonal relationships between trainees and supervisors in the clinical learning environment. This policy directs trainees and/or supervising faculty to disclose relationships that have created, or may create, a conflict of interest, and instructs the training program to manage and reconcile any such conflicts.
