(Please see Leave Policy for additional leaves and information).
Vacation: Three weeks (15 scheduled workdays) of paid vacation per academic year are provided. Vacation requests must receive approval in advance from the program director, and trainees should check with the program director regarding program-specific policies. Vacation requests will not be approved during the first week of July or last week of June. The number of vacation days will be prorated if the GME trainee's start date is other than July 1.

ACGME Parental, Caregiver, Medical Leave (ACGME Leave): In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) institutional requirements (effective July 1, 2022), at least once during the duration of the training program, GME will provide Trainees with a minimum of six (6) weeks of paid time away from training with one additional week of leave. The Trainee will be required to exhaust any available leave during the absence.
In the event the Trainee does not have a sufficient leave balance, the Trainee will receive additional paid leave, not to exceed six weeks with one additional week of leave.

Trainees must notify the Program Director or their designee as soon as reasonably possible to allow time for adequate coverage of educational clinical care responsibilities. Trainees should contact Human Resources to initiate the leave. Trainees that exhaust leave through the ACGME Leave may request additional unpaid leave if necessary. This is a GME specific policy but may run concurrently with other available institutional leaves.
Holidays: Graduate Medical Education trainees are responsible for the clinical care of the patients within the educational program. To this end, trainees are not afforded the standard institutional holidays. The education committee of each individual training program has a set policy, which guides the provision of national, state and religious holidays.
