Personal Benefits

Parental Leave Policy

The DOM Residency Program is committed to a supportive environment for all parents, including helping to arrange coverage for prenatal appointments, developing a personalized parental leave plan for each resident, and supporting residents who encounter intra- or postpartum complications. The DOM Residency follows the Partners GME Parental Leave Guidelines (PDF), which includes 8 weeks of leave with salary continuance for the birth or adoption of a child, with the ability to extend to 12 weeks by using vacation time. In addition, whenever possible, the DOM plans 4 weeks of a “soft landing” on ambulatory rotations or elective after leave ends to ease the transition. The DOM parental leave (PDF) outlines the different types of leave available to residents, the details about maintaining ABIM compliance, and the process for scheduling leave.
