- Residents may not moonlight while engaged in activities of the residency program or face disciplinary action up to and including immediate dismissal from the residency program (e.g. on-call and moonlighting simultaneously).
- A resident on probation or on academic remediation, or whom in the opinion of the Program Director is not fulfilling his or her duties as a resident, will have his or her moonlighting privileges curtailed or revoked.
- Medical activities outside the scope of the training program are not covered by the professional liability coverage provided through the Resident Agreement.
- The time spent moonlighting at AIMMC or any of its sites must be counted toward the 80-hour per week duty hours limit.
