VACATION AND CONFERENCE TIME
VACATION AND CONFERENCE TIME
Fellows are entitled to three weeks of paid vacation each year. Fellows can take vacation at any time, but need to notify the fellowship director and ambulatory clinic staff at least two months before the start of planned vacations. There is no accumulation of vacation time from year to year. Each year, fellows may attend one week of conferences in fields relevant to infectious diseases. The costs incurred from strictly educational conferences are the responsibility of the fellow. If the fellow is attending one or more conferences to present original research data, the division will pay the incurred costs, based on the availability of funds. The fellowship program director may authorize more than one week of conference time for extenuating circumstances. Each year every fellow is given the opportunity to attend the annual meeting of the Infectious Disease Society of America. During the second year of fellowship, fellows are given the opportunity to attend a four-day course on hospital infection control given by the Society of Hospital Epidemiology. The division will pay the incurred costs, based on the availability of funds. Fellows must notify the fellowship director before attending any conference.
