Policies and Procedures
Outside Activities / Moonlighting
As stated in the ACGME's Program Requirements for General Surgery:
Residency training in surgery is a full-time responsibility; activities outside the educational program must not interfere with the resident's performance in the educational process, as determined by the program director, nor must they interfere with the residents' opportunities for rest, relaxation, and study.
While the department does not have the authority to oversee all activities of residents while they are not on duty, the department reserves the right to speak with residents regarding their outside activities when those activities adversely impact on their performance as residents. The department does not wish to encourage residents to moonlight; in fact, it officially discourages that activity.

* All policies and procedures for Fellow Selection, Evaluation, Promotion, and Dismissal are in compliance with both ACGME requirements and with the institutional policies and procedures of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
