The GC has therefore agreed to a balanced approach, whereby full-time partners with pre-arranged vacation plans will be granted a third week of vacation. The remaining available vacation allocation will be distributed among partners through a lottery system. It was further agreed that a comprehensive revision of the vacation model will be required in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtfy-25\">CDH Updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtfy-28\">Dr. Ridler has resigned from CDH. Last day: June 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtfy-31\">Human Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtfy-34\">Dr. Owen has expressed interest in transitioning to a full-time partner role, with endorsement from the IR subgroup and the GC, subject to a group vote. The GC supports an increase in the locum rate to $3,200 per diem in order to remain competitive within the current market. The GC also recommends that future recruitment efforts prioritize candidates for Duncan, except in cases where candidates with subspecialty expertise is required to meet the needs of the broader group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtfy-37\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time: 1830-2100 Represent: Drs.
