This new setting allows you to prevent residents from submitting requests that span across different academic blocks, even if those blocks haven’t been published yet. It helps:
Maintain consistency in request periods
Avoid scheduling conflicts across block boundaries
Ensure requests align with strict academic periods
How It Works
When Cross-Block Request Banning is enabled:
The system automatically blocks any request that crosses into another academic block
This applies regardless of whether the blocks are published
Residents attempting to submit a cross-block request will see a red warning message explaining the issue and prompting them to split the request across two blocks
Who Is This For?
This setting is available only for Postgraduate Medical Education Organizations. It gives administrators an added layer of control over how and when availability requests can be submitted, especially useful in structured academic scheduling environments.
