Basic Insurance Benefits Clause Samples

Basic Insurance Benefits. On the first day of residency, residents may enroll in the Program’s paid insurance plan consisting of medical, dental, basic life insurance and long term disability insurance. These benefits are available to the resident only during the resident’s appointment. The Program’s human resources administrator can provide details on these benefits. Counseling Services: Residents are encouraged to discuss problems of either a personal or program nature with their chief resident, faculty members, faculty advisor or their Program Director. If a resident desires professional counseling a list of psychiatrists and psychologists and psychological support services can be obtained from the Program Director. Payment for such services is the resident's responsibility (insurance may assist with these costs). Meals: Residents have access to food services 24 hours a day while on duty in all institutions. The resident’s Program will provide further information about meals. Requests for leave of absence must be submitted to the Program Director. The Program Director will inform the resident of the effect the leave will have on the resident’s completion of the Program and their ability to satisfy the requirements of their Specialty Review Committee and/or Specialty Board. If an approved leave compromises the time necessary for certification, the resident will be required to receive additional training sufficient to meet certification requirements.
