This is separate from vacation time. Meals are gratis. Can't beat it. Each winter holiday, a book stipend is presented. For the most part, all major texts are available in the residents office and in the University surgery library just down the hall.
Selected readings are also in the library.
Obviously operative days may be longer depending upon the cases. The weekends are however yours. Saturday are regular rounds, but Sunday at the University is covered by the first and second call only. The VA and St. Joes are 7 days rounds, but this depends on the service. Cross coverage for special circumstances is not a problem.
