RESIDENT SIGN-IN SHEETS
It is mandatory for each resident and Fellow at the VANO is to sign in and out daily. The
sign-in sheet for Ophthalmology is located in Dr. Carriere’s office (9G123). The sign-in
sheets are the official records of time spent on service. These sheets are submitted to the head of Medical Education, Dr. Pappas, and each month. The respective medical schools are then paid by the VA based on the time worked by each resident.
VACATION / EDUCATIONAL LEAVE REQUESTS
All Leave Requests must be officially approved by Drs. Metzinger and Estrada at least 6 weeks prior to a rotation. Without official approval the resident in question will still be responsible for his/her scheduled clinic and will be considered AWOL.
Each resident slot accrues annual leave time based on time worked; therefore only a limited amount of vacation time is available. If excess vacation is taken or leave is not officially approved, the medical schools will not be paid for this time.
For Educational leave, residents must submit the official meeting pamphlet as well as an official copy of travel itinerary.
NON OR Procedures at the VA require:
1. Mark the appropriate side with the word “YES”
2. Pre-Procedure note by an attending Physician
3. I-med consent form ( witness can not be the same person who does the time out)
4. Outpatient time out note and Outpatient pre-procedure checklist (preformed by a nurse just before the procedure
5. Non-OR Procedure note done by either surgeon or the attending surgeon that day
