Residents may request and be granted a LOA (in circumstances discussed
below) for up to 12 weeks.
Types of LOA:
• Self Care – Self care refers to a
leave of absence for a serious health condition which makes one
unable to perform his/her job. Examples of self care leave include
pregnancy (with medical certification) and other serious health
conditions (also with medical certification). A resident in need
of a LOA for self care is entitled to 12 weeks of “job protection” meaning
that he/she is restored to his/her previous position without loss
of benefits.
• Family Care – Family care refers
to leaves of absence for the purpose of providing care for a spouse,
child or parent with a serious health condition. A resident in
need of a LOA for family care is entitled to 12 weeks of “job
protection.” Family care leave is unpaid; however PTO time
may be used.
• Child Care – Child care LOA refers
to the birth or adoption of a child. A child care leave must be
taken at the time of the birth/adoption and comes with 12 weeks
of job protection. Child care leave is unpaid; however, PTO time
may be used.
• Personal – LOAs for reasons other
than the above are not an entitlement. In the event that a resident
needs a personal LOA, he/she must make a written request to the
Program Director. Personal leave is unpaid.
Effects of LOA on completing the residency:
It is critical that a resident who is considering taking a LOA
understand the specific requirements of their specialty board
with regard to the length of time leading to board admissibility.
In the event that a specialty program or board requirements are
more restrictive than the institutional policy, the resident
will need to satisfy the residency or board requirements before
completing the program (i.e., make up missed time).
In the event that a resident misses more than 25 days per year,
averaged over the length of the residency (e.g., 75 days over a
three-year program) the resident will be required to extend the
program to cover the time missed. Exceptions to this requirement
may be granted only with the support of the Program Director and
written approval of the resident’s specialty board.
Residents are provided “On-Call Rooms” for overnight
duty. It is the responsibility of the institution to maintain these
rooms.
Parking is provided free of charge to residents employed by Newark
Beth Israel Medical Center. Residents are strongly encouraged to
park within the secured lot at all times. A ten dollar ($10) refundable
deposit is necessary to obtain an access card.
The Medical Center will purchase for all incoming residents: two
lab coats and two pairs of scrubs. (These scrubs are for non-sterile
areas only.) The hospital is responsible for laundering these coats.
Meals are provided free to Resident Physicians who are on-call.
The maximum per meal is $6.00.
