Program Benefits

Vacation
Typically only weekdays are counted, with all efforts made to give the preceding and following weekend off also.

• PGY I - 3 weeks of vacation per year (15 working days)
• PGY II - 4 weeks of vacation per year (20 working days)
• PGY III - 4 weeks of vacation per year (20 working days)
• All residents - Additional six days paid vacation for the last two weeks of December

Sick Leave
All residents receive up to 12 days per year. Our policy follows ABP guidelines regarding absences from residency training.

Thirty-three months of clinical training are required. One month of absence is allowed each year for leave (eg, vacation, sick, parental leave). Absences greater than three months during the three years of residency should be made up by additional periods of training. If the program director believes that the candidate is well qualified and has met all the training requirements, the program director may submit a petition to the ABP requesting an exemption to the policy. Residents in combined training may not take more than one month of leave per year. ABP Guidelines
