Professional Development time is not considered PTO time. To use this time, interns will coordinate their schedules with their Primary Supervisor and Training Director, and track the hours as hours worked in their local system and as “Professional Development Leave” in the NPTC time tracking portal.
In an effort to promote self-care, interns are encouraged to utilize all leave time. No unused PTO time will be reimbursed at the end of the training year. Since Professional Development time is not considered a type of PTO, unused Professional Development will not be paid out at the end of the year.

Also, if a site observes additional holidays or is closed for other reasons and the intern is unable to work, the intern cannot be forced to use their vacation time or sick days.
