A new DOM policy has been enacted to clarify the steps to be taken when DOM Division Directors and/or Faculty are away from UAB. All Division Directors should notify the Chairman’s Office, in advance, if they will be away from UAB either on vacation or official business.  All Faculty should notify their Division Director, in advance, if they will be away from UAB either on vacation or official business.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Faculty who will be away from UAB should notify their Division Director, in advance, letting them know who will be covering for them during their absence.
2. Division Directors who will be away from UAB should notify the Department of Medicine Chairman’s Administrative Associate, in advance, and provide the name and phone number of the person who will be covering for them during their absence.
3. Time off requests and notifications of official time-away from UAB must be sent  to the appropriate areas as far in advance as possible.

This policy is effective immediately. Please review the Division Director / Faculty Absence from UAB Policy.
