"Allocate Holiday Time Off Fairly"
FPM
November 2025
Jennifer Corliss, MD, FAAFP, Medical Director of Lone Tree Primary Care and Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, is the author of a Practice Pearl article, “Allocate Holiday Time Off Fairly,” published in the November/December issue by the Family Practice Management (FPM) Journal.
From the article:
“Holidays are a common time for physicians to take scheduled time off, and practices should encourage it as an important component in maintaining well-being. However, practices also have to ensure that patients have sufficient access to care and that holiday time off is distributed fairly.
Our large primary care practice developed a structured approach that incorporates clinicians’ holiday preferences while maintaining adequate access, thereby supporting physician wellbeing and reducing the strain of holiday coverage.”
