Please refer to Intern & Resident Policies if not familiar with Work Hours Policy

Title: Policy to Monitor On-call and Work Hour Schedules
Policy #: 13
The AOA has charged each OPTI the task of overseeing their partner institution s on-call and work hour policies for interns and residents. To ensure compliance, we have established the following protocol for the intern or residents to report an inconsistencies or infractions in their hospital s published work hour policy.

The intern or resident must initially report in the manner outlined in Policies Governing Evaluation & Appeal Mechanism of their institution s Intern/Resident Manual.

In the event the intern or resident feels his/her concerns were not addressed properly, they may then contact their designated Intern or Resident Representative of LECOMT s Osteopathic Graduate Medical Education (OGME) Committee or the LECOMT Chief Academic Officer at 814.868.8361.

LECOMT and each member institution agree that there can be no reprisals for the intern/resident reporting the inconsistencies or infractions in the hospital s published on-call and work hour policy.

Each LECOMT member institution must include in their intern/resident manual this LECOMT policy to assure the intern/resident has received proper notification of the appropriate protocol and OPTI contacts.
