It is the policy of TUMEC to adhere to the moonlighting policies outlined by the American Osteopathic Association in the Basic Document for Postdoctoral Training Programs, except where they are superseded by State and/or Federal regulations.
Any professional clinical activity (moonlighting) performed outside of an official residency program will only be conducted with the permission of the program administration (DME/program director) and must not interfere with the resident’s didactic or clinical performance.
A written request by the resident must be approved or disapproved by the program director and DME and be filed in the institution’s resident file.
This policy must be published in the institution’s house staff manual. Failure to report and receive approval by the program may be grounds for terminating a resident’s contract.
If moonlighting is permitted, hours shall be inclusive of the 80 hour per week maximum work limit and must be reported and monitored by the medical education consortium.
OGME-1 trainees shall be prohibited from moonlighting.
