ALL travel plans should be approved in writing on the official travel forms by the Program Director prior to making arrangements to attend. Presentation of a paper in conjunction with faculty is strongly recommended, and, of course, will guarantee approval for the trip. Meals at department expense will ordinarily be provided at the Friday Specialty Pathology Conference and at the Monthly Pathology Journal Club. Each resident will be assigned a microscope and an office cubicle with a desk and filing space. A microcomputer for resident use is also provided.
Secretarial assistance is available to type forms, papers, and abstracts.
It is the position of the College of Medicine that excessive or inappropriate moonlighting by the residents not be allowed. Moonlighting by house officers in clinical programs outside the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is discouraged. It is appropriate for the institution to curtail such activities if they influence the house officer's participation in the training program. Moonlighting by PGY-1 level trainees in particular is discouraged. All plans or proposals for moonlighting or any supplemental clinical activities must be submitted in advance to the responsible Chief of Service and are subject to his or her approval to insure they will not interfere with the individual training program and activities at UAMS and that the anticipated clinical responsibilities are not inconsistent with the resident's competence and level of training.
