PGME and PARIM are pleased to offer the Post-Call Transportation Program. This program aims to support the well-being of residents by reimbursing their transportation expenses to return home when they are too tired to safely drive after a call shift. The costs eligible for reimbursement also include travel back to the clinical site to retrieve their vehicle after they have had an adequate opportunity to rest.
PGME’s Resident Safety Policy, Article 3.1.1.3.1 states that: “Post call, if a Resident is too tired to safely operate a motor vehicle, he/she is advised to refrain from travel, by utilizing a call room until rested or take a taxi home.”
How to Apply for Reimbursement
Complete the form below and remit to the PARIM office along with all receipts. Receipts may be from any taxi or ride share company. You will be reimbursed by cheque within a few weeks.
Please note:
- Reimbursements are for transportation after call shifts (hospital or converted). Float and emergency shifts are not eligible.
- For claims over $100 per quarter, or over $500 annually, please submit copies of the call schedule(s) along with the receipts.
- Forms must be submitted within 6 months of the date on the last receipt, and before the end of the academic year (June 30).
