PGMI FCPS Leave, Maternity, Freezing and Rotation Rules (IPM 2027)

The PGMI Induction Policy Manual (IPM) 2027 follows CPSP rules for leave and breaks. The key point: any absence without prior approval is unpaid and may have to be made up at the end of training.

Regular leave

15 days of leave with stipend in every six months. It does not accumulate.
Absence without prior permission is counted as absent and unpaid. If it becomes a training deficiency, you complete it at the end of training without stipend, and the case may go to the institutional disciplinary committee.
For long leave or a break (Hajj, Umrah, freezing, wedding or maternity), apply at least 15 days before the leave starts. Leaving without approval of the competent authority and DNRP / CPSP is counted as absence.

Maternity leave

Up to 90 days, as a break in training without stipend. The deficiency is completed at the end of training with stipend.
Submit an application with a medical certificate from a Consultant Gynaecologist of your training institution (or a public sector hospital if there is no Obs & Gynae department) and an ultrasound report.
Maternity leave is allowed once in FCPS training. A second maternity leave is limited to 45 days without stipend, and that deficiency is completed at the end of training without stipend.

Medical leave

Submit with a medical certificate from a public sector hospital and proof of illness.
It counts as a break in training without stipend; the deficient period is completed at the end of training with stipend.
Medical leave can start without prior permission if the medical grounds and documents are correct.

Freezing (break in training)

Allowed once in the whole FCPS training, on genuine grounds as per CPSP policy.
No break before completing two years of training. After two years, a break of up to six months is allowed.
Departure and arrival reports go to PGMI, forwarded by the supervisor and Associate Dean / Head of Institution. The arrival report must include CPSP approval; otherwise the period is counted as absence. Getting CPSP approval in time is your responsibility.

Who approves leave

Type	Non-MTI institutions	MTI institutions
Paid leave	Up to 7 days at a stretch (15 days per six months): Dean / Head of Institution / Training Director	Up to 15 days: Associate Dean of the MTI
Unpaid leave, break, freezing, medical leave, leave over 7 days	CEO PGMI	Break / freezing: CEO PGMI

All applications to PGMI must be forwarded by the supervisor and the Associate Dean / Dean / Head of Institution / Training Director (signed, stamped and dated). CPSP / DNRP approval is also required.

Rotation

Mandatory rotations are allowed only in CPSP recognized units with CPSP approved supervisors.
Order of preference: same institute, then same city, then outside the city.
Outside the province: only if the specialty is not available anywhere in KP, with prior permission of PGMI and DNRP.
The application must reach PGMI at least seven days before the rotation starts. Going on rotation before approval is treated as absence; if that period is accepted as training, it is without stipend.
MTI residents: the Associate Dean can allow rotation within the institute. For outside rotation, the application is forwarded by the supervisor and Associate Dean with a certificate that the specialty is not available in the institute, plus an NOC from the rotation supervisor and the head of the receiving institute.
Non-MTI residents: the Dean / Head of Institution / Training Director can allow rotation within the institute; outside rotation follows the same process through PGMI.
