Note about Fatigue Travel reimbursements

Residents are expected to first attempt to use GME-funded programs at eligible sites whenever possible; if those are impossible to access, you can obtain reimbursement from the Department for fatigue travel. GME has requested that receipts are submitted within 10 days of fatigue travel. Please submit these receipts in a timely manner to ensure reimbursement eligibility.


There are two types of trips that qualify for fatigue travel reimbursement:

  1. Round trip travel that begins from your work site
  2. Round trip that begins from home in anticipation of fatigue after a 24-hour shift


Do not batch together fatigue travel reimbursements. Each request should only encompass one round-trip.

For the QE application fee, the department will cover $550 for the early registration fee only.

Provide details about the reimbursement such as dates of stay, summary of reimbursements (if multiple items for conferences), and any information you would think is helpful for this request.

Did you attempt to use a GME taxi voucher?*

By selecting an option here you are attesting to the following:

  • I attest that I diligently searched for a taxi voucher and was not able to obtain one.
  • I attest that I drove to work, was unable to sleep in a call room and was unable to drive myself home in a safe manner.
  • I attest that the rideshare service drove me directly from a UCSF Health San Francisco location (Parnassus, Mission Bay, Mount Zion, China Basin) to my verifiable home address.
  • I understand that tips and gratuities are not reimbursable.

If you were unable to use a GME-funded program, we would like for you to provide some information about your access issue below so that we can communicate this to the GME office (with the hope that they can improve their programs.)


Please also include the ROTATION/SERVICE you were on at the time of request.

Please remember that residents are expected to first attempt to use GME-funded programs at eligible sites whenever possible. More information can be found here: https://meded.ucsf.edu/residents-clinical-fellows/gme-resident-and-fellow-resources/benefits/taxi-voucher-program
