KeymasterHi Barb I will let you know.

KeymasterCan we get the handouts from Beth Payne’s talk? They ran out of them during the meeting. Thank you.
KeymasterThank you very much for this post. This information is very useful. Is there a way you could email the PPTX presentations to me? The links won’t open properly. I was able to open everything else.
I thank you in advance.
Donna 🙂
KeymasterOur residents are given an allowance based upon their year in training. PGY 1’s get $800, PGY 2’s get $1000, PGY 3’s get $1200 and PGY 4’s and 5’s each get $1500. This money can be used for books or travel. They can carry it over from one year to the next if they want to save it up for a big meeting later in their training. For example, this year two of them had saved theirs and used it to go to the Hand Society annual meeting as they are both doing hand fellowships.
We do have required conferences – late in the PGY 1 year or early in the PGY 2 year, they go to a basic fracture course (either AO or OTA), PGY 3’s go to the AANA Arthroscopy course for Junior Residents, and PGY 5’s go to the Maine Orthopaedic Review course. These courses are above and beyond their allowance.
I keep a spreadsheet for their entire length of training showing how they have used the money.
And Kudos to the ARCOS Board for putting on a fantastic meeting in New Orleans. Thank you ladies.
KeymasterWe do not limit the number of interviews they can attend, however any time away must come out of their vacation time which is 20 days.
KeymasterWe allow them to go on up to 12 and anything over that, they have to use vacation time.
KeymasterWe allow 10 days and anything over that they have to use vacation time.
KeymasterHello,
Our program doesn’t limit the residents to the number of interviews they go on. Any days off for this is counted towards vacation. On average our residents take about 7-10 days off to interview.
Best,
Connie Sams
UCLAKeymasterWe give our PGY-4’s 6 days for interviews. Any more than that, they must use vacation time.
KeymasterI am a Fellowship Coordinator and in the middle of our interview season. I asked the candidates how many interviews they attend and they stated between 6-10. The candidates have to pay for travel expenses and it’s costly. Our program pays for the hotel stay.
KeymasterWe allow the PGY-4s 7 interview weekdays. Anything over 7 days becomes vacation time.
KeymasterWe give the R4’s 6 days to go to interviews. Any more than that is taken out of their vacation time.
