Vacation

Residents are allowed three weeks of vacation each academic year. An additional week of educational leave is permitted in the second and third years. There are several designated holidays in the pediatric program, including at least one four-day break for each resident at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's.


Family Leave

It is the policy of the University of Colorado School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Committee to allow leave for maternity, paternity, adoption, illness of a close relative that requires the resident's care, or illness of the resident. Residents may be granted up to 12 calendar weeks of leave during a 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons. Leaves are granted by the Program Director. The Program Director will determine how much of the time will need to be made up in order to fulfill the specialty board certification and requirements. The complete leave policy is in the Graduate Medical Education Manual. 


Paid Courses 

Registration is paid for all PL-1s to be certified in PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and the Neonatal Resuscitation Program and to recertify as required during residency.


Meals

Residents receive pre-paid meal cards at each hospital to cover the cost of meals while at work.
