7.4.2 Requesting TAC Hours
Interns are expected to request approval from their faculty clinician well in advance when an absence is anticipated. Sufficient notice allows the faculty clinician to effectively manage the internship learning experience. Interns must be in clinic for their contracted hours, or use TAC hours, unless taking a full week (Monday – Saturday) off; then interns will be charged a maximum of 6 hours for T7, 18 hours for T8, 21 hours for T9 and 25 hours for T10. Interns taking less than a full week (Monday – Saturday) off will be charged the number of hours needed to reach the 6, 18, 21 or 25 hour(s) minimum. TAC hours must be taken during the term in which they are granted. Any unused TAC hours at the end of a term will not be carried into the following term unless notified otherwise by Clinical Education.
