Leave

Vacation Leave
Vacation Leave is 10 days compensated leave per training year (from July to June). Leave blocks are designed within the structure of the residency training program.

Sick Leave

Resident sick leave is 12 days compensated leave per year. This time can be taken for illness, injury and medical appointments for the resident, or for the care of an immediate family member.

Family and Medical Leave

Resident family family and medical leave includes 18 days of compensated leave for maternity, paternity or adoption leave. Residents who are unable to work because of maternity, paternity, adoption or serious health conditions are eligible for uncompensated leave for a period up to 12 weeks annually, according to federal law. However, the program requirements and the specialty board requirements apply to the time needed to make up absences.
