Paid Time Off (PTO)/FMLA:

Residents are encouraged to take 5 continuous days off in the first 6 months of training and then another 5 days off in the last 6 months. Additional days of leave can be spread out as desired to create anything from long weekends to extended international trips back home depending on the circumstance.  In addition to the institutional PTO, residents are allocated by ACGME an additional 6 weeks of leave to be used as needed for FMLA (including maternity and paternity leave).

All residents received $1000.00 yearly fund toward their own professional development.  Funds may be spent on board review material, journals/textbooks, medical equipment and/or conference travel.
