The program director is responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with policies and procedures for grievance and due process, duty hours, selection, evaluation and promotion of residents, disciplinary action and supervision of residents. See IR . for minimum institutional requirements. Institutions and/or programs may have more extensive policies and procedures. These policies and procedures should be given to all residents and faculty in print format or made available on a residency program website to ensure they are knowledgeable about these important issues. A program handbook is not required but it is a convenient approach to collecting and updating all.
