Returning from a leave of absence (LOA)? Here’s what to do.
When you requested your LOA, the Office of Medical Education wrote you a letter with conditions for your leave. Read it and resolve any requirements in the letter. Requirements include:
- Notifying the Office of Medical Education of your intent to return by a certain date. Please email Caroline.Lazzaruolo@
stonybrookmedicine.edu . - Updating your PPD and annual physical assessment. Please email Mary.Allen@stonybrookmedicine.edu.
- Submitting a doctor’s note, if requested and appropriate (e.g. “fit for duty” letter).
- Resolving holds, blocks, and To Do’s in your SOLAR account so that you can be enrolled and, if appropriate, a financial aid check can be disbursed.
- Setting up an appointment to schedule courses/rotations if re-entering years 3 or 4.
- Meeting all clerkship site requirements on time. (These might include health updates, drug testing, background check paperwork, online materials, etc.)
- Reading TGIF emails and other communications from the Office of Medical Education.
- If re-entering the clinical years, read CBase course descriptions for what to do on the first day of your rotation.
- Checking with Mary Jean Allen (Mary.Allen@stonybrookmedicine.edu) regarding financial aid and health requirements.
