Effects of Leave on Board Eligibility. Every Member Board of the American Board 5 of Medical Specialties, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Pediatric Dentistry has leave 6 restrictions that differ from those of the University of Washington, and Residents are 7 subject to both sets of policies. Leaves of absence, for any reason, may affect a 8 Resident’s eligibility for board certification. Program Directors will inform Residents of 9 their Program’s policy on this topic, which specifies the effects of leaves of absence on 10 eligibility for certification by the relevant Member Board. Residents must complete all 11 program requirements related to clinical training, didactics, scholarly activities, and other 12 program curricula. Residents may not accumulate leave time or vacation time to shorten 13 the overall length of training. Should any approved leaves compromise the necessary 14 training time for certification, the Resident will receive additional training sufficient to 15 meet certification requirements. During such additional training, the Resident will 16 continue to receive salary/stipends and benefits at the level of the year of training the 17 Resident is completing. The completion date on the Resident’s graduation certificate will 18 reflect the additional training time.
