How many excused missed shifts are allowed per rotation?

  1. 0

  2. 2 per rotation, no more than 1 per month

  3. 1 per rotation

  4. 3 per rotation

The correct answer is: 2 per rotation, no more than 1 per month

The guideline allowing for two excused missed shifts per rotation, with a stipulation of no more than one per month, is designed to balance the need for reliability within healthcare settings while also accommodating potential unforeseen circumstances that may affect a scholar's schedule. This policy acknowledges that life can lead to conflicts that necessitate an absence, such as illness or personal emergencies, without compromising the overall commitment expected from participants in the program. By allowing two missed shifts across the entire rotation period, the policy encourages scholars to be mindful of their attendance while providing some flexibility. The limitation to one excused absence per month helps ensure that scholars remain consistently engaged in their rotations, promoting continuity in their learning experience and minimizing disruption in care settings. This approach ultimately supports the program's objectives of training responsible and dependable future healthcare professionals.
