For Prospective Residents
PGYI Vacation
Each resident receives 4 weeks of vacation each year. This may be taken either as one 4-week block or as two 2-week blocks. Please note that if a resident is away from their continuity clinic, they must be back for at least two months before they may have a break in continuity again. This must be kept in mind when setting up schedules in the PGYIII year as each resident receives 4 weeks of vacation and may take an away elective.
