Travel and vacation benefits
The Department of Radiology provides three weeks of vacation. We advise residents to plan as far in advance as possible.
Residents are allowed five days of meeting attendance time per year, and more can be given if a trainee is delivering an oral presentation or electronic exhibit. Funding is available to trainees to help with meeting and other educational expenses during their program.
Sick and parental benefits
Parental leave
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provides up to six weeks of paid parental leave. Residents 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 parental 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.
Sick Leave
Our policy complies with the institutional policy for sick leave. Radiology residents are considered full-time and accrue paid sick leave at a rate of 10 hours per month for a total of 120 hours per year.

Wellness Days
Ohio State Radiology is committed to supporting resident and fellow physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and overall health and well-being while completing their training program. Research shows that “radiology residents report one of the highest burnout rates of all medical subspecialties, with up to 85% burnout rates reported” (Mendoza et. al, 2019). In recognition of this research, Ohio State Radiology has implemented “wellness days” for our residents, in support of their mental health and well-being. Trainees are able to take one wellness day per quarter, in addition to sick and leave time off, in support of promoting well-being.
