- All MCV Ward teams including Digestive Health now have a cell phone and laptop. Please utilize these!
- Work Hours—Please continue to enter these in a timely manner. Failure to do so puts the program at risk with the accreditation board AND makes it difficult for us to identify issues. Lack of compliance with the work hours documentation policy will result in days counted as vacation if not entered. The clinical competency is taking an active role in monitoring resident compliance with this professional role and has issued several letters of concern to individuals who are repeatedly late in entry. Please make this a habit—enter all duty hours on Sunday for the preceding week if you are on an inpatient rotation.
