Medical instruments approved by the director may be purchased as well. Each fellow will receive a laptop computer and palm pilot for the duration of the training program.
Relocation Benefits
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center will reimburse all travel and relocation expenses up to $1500.
Insurance
Health and dental insurance is provided at special rates for residents. The effective date of insurance is the first date of employment. Enrollment must be made in accordance with standard procedures.
Life insurance -- in the amount of $50,000 -- is provided at no cost to you. This insurance is convertible to a continuing policy when you leave Cincinnati Children's.
Long-term disability insurance covering disability incurred as a result of sickness or an accident will be provided effective the first day of active employment. Cincinnati Children's pays for the entire cost of this coverage. The plan benefit is 60 percent of your base salary, up to a maximum benefit of $2,000 per month, beginning after 90 days of disability.
Leaves of Absence
Medical Leaves of Absence with pay will be granted for short-term illness or injury, including pregnancy, for a period of up to twelve weeks with medical certification.
Paid paternity leave of up to four working days will be granted. This time will not count as vacation days.
Personal (non-medical) leaves of absence without pay are available for a period of up to one year with the approval of the fellowship training director.
The fellow is guaranteed a position in the next year's program at an equivalent PL level. This, however, does not guarantee status in terms of completion of the training requirement of the American Board of Pediatrics.
On-Site Child Care
Cincinnati Children's owns and operates an on-site child care facility for all employees called Children's for Children. The facility is a recipient of national, state and local awards and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
