A University-owned health insurance plan is provided for residents and their dependents. Disability insurance is also provided for all residents. Uniforms and laundry services are provided at no charge. Each resident is entitled to four weeks vacation each year.
Vacation time is blocked out for an entire month or two two-week blocks.
All vacation time must be used each year since it does not accumulate. In addition to the previously scheduled vacation time, each resident will also receive a four day break at either the Christmas or New Year's holiday. In general, vacation time is applied for more than three or four days absence so as not to jeopardize meeting American Board of Internal Medicine eligibility requirements. Photocopying is available within the department at no charge, and access to Colleague's data-base for literature searches and retrieval is provided in the outpatient department by the Division of General Internal Medicine.
