The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, India, has announced a structured summer vacation schedule for its teaching faculty, divided into two phases: from May 16 to June 14 and from June 16 to July 15. To ensure uninterrupted patient care, at least 50% of the faculty must remain on duty at all times. Faculty members are required to report for work on June 15 to formally hand over their responsibilities. The administration has mandated that department heads prepare duty rosters within 15 days to ensure adequate staffing. Only faculty members who have completed more than six months of service are eligible for vacation, and no faculty member can take leave in both phases simultaneously. Additionally, the administration has restricted the combination of vacation with other forms of leave, such as conference leave or earned leave, during the alternate phase. The structured schedule aims to balance faculty rest with the institute's commitment to providing continuous healthcare services.
