What is Mandated Housing?

In efforts to support residents, the Postgraduate Deans’ Office (PGME), has arranged for limited leased accommodations at training sites throughout the province for residents’ use during mandated rotations.

ARTICLE 28 – DISTRIBUTED TRAINING LOCATIONS

Those Residents who are required, as part of their training, to leave the base Hospital on mandatory rotations will be reimbursed for reasonable travel and accommodation expenses.

The PGME support aims to provide some pre-paid accommodation in regularly used distributed training locations so residents do not have to incur out-of-pocket expenses. Where leased accommodations are not available, residents are required to secure their own housing as per the reimbursement provisions in the Collective Agreement (see Accommodation Policy – Mandated Rotations and Resident Mandated Travel and Reimbursement Policy).
