EVALUATIONS

Faculty complete fellow competency evaluations after each rotation. Fellows meet with the training director twice yearly to review this feedback. In addition, fellows take the Adult and Child PRITE and complete the required clinical skills exams.

PERSONAL DAYS

The program provides fellows with four weeks of paid personal time off each academic year, or a fraction thereof if the appointment period is less.

CONFERENCE DAYS

The program provides fellows one week of paid conference time off each academic year, or a fraction thereof if the appointment period is less. Conference time off is only for attending an academic conference.

SICK DAYS

The program provides fellows with two weeks of paid sick time off each academic year, or a fraction thereof if the appointment period is less. Sick time off consists of moments of personal illness or due to your medical condition (including medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth). Sick time off to care for a family member who is ill or has a medical condition is also acceptable.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

We ask fellows who need to take more than 14 days of non-vacation time, to schedule a meeting with the Program Coordinator and Training Director to discuss the leave of absence process. In compliance with program requirements concerning the effect of leaves of absence on satisfying the criteria for completion of the training program and the certifying board, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), an approved leave may extend your training.

PERSONAL LEAVE

Fellows who exhaust their paid personal and sick days due to taking an approved medical, parental, or caregiver leave will have two additional weeks of paid personal time off to extend a paid leave or to take personal days later in the same, or the next, academic year. The training program offers this time off once during the training program.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

The program provides fellows three days of paid bereavement time off per immediate family member. Bereavement time-off consists of funeral attendance or to fulfill other responsibilities regarding funerals or the settlement of estates. For bereavement time-off, immediate family members are parents, siblings, spouse or domestic partner, child (including biological, legal guardianship, or adopted), grandparents, great-grandparents, and grandchildren. A domestic partner is a person who shares a residency with a romantic partner without a legally recognized union. Also included are foster, domestic relationship, in-law, and steps of all the previously listed.
