Any portion of the allowance not used toward these benefits is added back to the house officer's paycheck. The Joseph B. Trainer Health and Counseling Service for Students and House Staff is available at no expense to house officers seeking confidential counseling support services, including those for substance dependency. This program is on a voluntary basis, and there is no employer contribution. In addition to the benefits outlined above, the Office of Graduate Medical Education will provide lab coats, business cards, name stamps and tags, pagers, and long distance authorization codes for the use of house officers during their training period. The university also provides on-call rooms and meal tickets for house officers on night call, as well as laundry services for scrubs and labcoats.
Parking is limited on the university grounds.
A space, however, is always assured for every house officer. Parking is available at a reduced cost for house officers, and can be automatically deducted from paychecks, pre-tax. It is the discretion of the house officer to take this leave as vacation or leave without pay. The university provides up to four weeks of pay per year for a house officer who is subpoenaed for jury duty. Uniformed services leave will be granted for service or training with the United States Uniformed Services as required by federal and state law.
