But op is actually, literally, trying to evade responsibilityOP is in a tough spot since asking the PD if this will be reflected on PD reference letters is a transparent way of asking if this needs to be disclosed which sounds like trying to evade responsibility which he is not trying to do. In all likelihood this will show up in the PD's form reference letter (eg Mountainboy was placed on probation for 6 months because xyz and no further issues were encountered). A credentialing committee that sees this will throw up a flag given the seriousness of this issue (not a RN complaining that he was mean, this is an actual patient safety concern that could have real medicolegal implications for their hospital) and the fellowship PD will be alerted and likely pissed off that he/she is learning this from a credentialing committee.
If you have 3 years at this place you dont want to start off as the problem child--come forward now in a show of good faith with your future PD to demonstrate maturity. It seems unlikely that you will get kicked out before you start but if you do then you can always apply again after atoning for these errors with a year of perfect employment as a hospitalist. If the PD learns of it any other way you are on the **** list there and IMO chances are higher you will get cut off. Appealing this would be an enormous mistake given the low probability of success and high probability of pissing off your program administration.
What would be your grounds for appeal? I'm surprised you weren't dismissed and an appeal is likely to harden some very kind and forgiving hearts. The argument that you got away with it doesn't mitigate the choice to take the risk with the lives of others so I wouldn't emphasize that again.
@Moose A Moose is right. I also find your excuse for why you abandoned patients to be highly suspect. You didn't need to walk off the job 15 times for a matter of hours each time to deal with a totaled car. You can't come up with a new story now but don't expect the fellowship PD to find that story credible.
Probation is typically disclosed in program letters of recommendation, end of training evaluations and to licensing boards. Increasingly, formal remediation is also disclosed. Hiding from this won't change the institution's policy on that (they aren't going to forget somehow). Your GME handbook probably explains this. You can also find out your institution's policies by talking with your program coordination or the GME office equivalent.
@whoknows2012 Rushing to judgment? That phrase means making a judgment without the facts. Take what the OP said in the most favorable light and he's fortunate to only have been placed on probation. Now he's asking for advice about how to escape all meaningful consequences. Residents have been dismissed for far less. This wasn't a single impulsive mistake. He reports that he abandoned patients 15 times. He says that he lives 10 minutes away which suggests to me that he went home "to deal with his totaled car." His conduct would get him fired if he was a Walmart security guard. Its only in the overly protective cocoon of GME that he's escaping with a lower administrative sanction. He should feel incredibly fortunate.

OP may have been better off just admitting that we went to jack off in the on call room and file for hypersexuality disorder.
Me too. Wonder exactly what OP did, sounds like a doozy.I miss all the good threads...

I’m quite certain it involved coding a car insurance agent who refused to give a good quote.It's killing me not knowing. Something about not showing up to codes / not being at the hospital for hours at a time?
