For the birth mother, eight weeks (56 days) of maternity leave will be paid from accumulated sick leave and/or accumulated vacation. Birth fathers or domestic partners (as defined in the University Policies) are provided with two weeks (14 days) of paternity leave to be paid from accumulated sick leave and/or accumulated vacation. If maternity or paternity leave is taken beyond the sum of accumulated sick leave and vacation, it will be unpaid leave. Notice of pregnancy should occur in the first trimester, to ensure proper scheduling and receipt of benefits. No moonlighting during maternity or paternity leave will
be permitted.
Resdidents should be aware that the amount of
leave taken may affect their ability to meet the
requirements of the applicable certifying board. Because
the length of maternity or paternity leave may impact the amount
of time allowed away from a training program by a certifying board, the Program Director may utilize vacation time, sick leave, personal days, or conference leave to accomplish completion of the training requirements within the standard training period. The Program Director will attempt to obtain American Board of Radiology approval whenever appropriate, however, the ABR decision is the final decision.
