TTR Attendance and Absences

Students can miss one clinical day for non-MD Program sanctioned absences without needing clinical make up time. This includes planned absences (for personal reasons, presenting at academic conferences), and unplanned absences (illness)

For Planned Absence Requests

• Approval must come from TTR Course Director
• Redirect students to submit planned absence requests centrally AND email ttr.ume@utoronto.ca, TTR administrative office, to keep an eye out for planned absence requests
• Ensure clinical make up time is arranged if needed

For Unplanned Absences

• Remind faculty/residents to notify Site Director/Site Administrator whenever there is an unplanned student absence including and scheduled ON CALL
• Ensure students need to be reminded to log the unplanned absence centrally
  • This is to track absences across ALL clerkship rotations
  • *Not logging absences appropriately will be documented on Professional Behaviours Assessment Form
• Email ttr.ume@utoronto.ca regarding all unplanned absences so the TTR administrative office can follow up
• Ensure clinical make up time is arranged if needed
