Residents may request and be granted a LOA (in circumstances
discussed below) for up to 12 weeks.
• 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.
