JohnGrisham Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Planning things for residency, have read PARO, is there any hidden agenda type things or things not to miss when embarking on this? Things you wish you would have known, or hidden expectations of programs or expectations etc. Any and all insights appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigM Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I’m not aware of any hidden agenda. One thing that it’s good to be mindful of is that the end of each residency year will be moved back by the amount of time you take off. I.e if you take 1 month of paternity leave in PGY3 then your PGY4 year won’t start until the end of July (vs July 1st), likewise for PGY5. This matters as you won’t move up on the salary scale every year until a month after your classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yes, it's very common. I'd also note the maximum number of months that you can miss in residency and still complete on schedule, if that works for your household. Something like 3 months (check program requirements).

It's 3 I believe. I took some time off for my first son (one month) and didnt have to make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
