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.
Personal leave

Assuming satisfactory performance in the current training year, the fellow is guaranteed a position in the next year's program at an equivalent PL level.
