Health care benefits – Full health care benefits

Paid time off (PTO) – Twenty days of PTO are provided to the residents. Ten of these days are used for holidays with the remaining ten days being available for vacation, sick, interview, or personal days.  Additional days are available for interviews.  Residents wishing to work on an observed holiday rather than taking PTO may do so in discussion with the residency program director (RPD). Any PTO remaining at the end of employment with St. Louis Children’s Hospital will be handled in accordance with current policy. The use of PTO must be approved by the RPD and current rotation preceptor. Total absences from any rotation for any reason, including personal leave, holidays, sick leave, and educational leave should not exceed 25% of the rotation without residency program director’s approval. The resident is responsible for arranging coverage of other responsibilities, including staffing, during any period of absence. Exceptions to covering responsibilities include events attended by all residents annually, such as the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and the Pediatric Pharmacy Association annual meeting and urgent personal leave (for example, sick days or bereavement leave).

Educational meetings – The PGY1 Pharmacy and PGY2 Pediatric residents will travel to the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and the Pediatric Pharmacy Association (PPA) annual meeting in the spring. The PGY2 Infectious Diseases resident will travel to the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and at least one other infectious diseases-specific meeting in the spring.

Each resident is provided with office space, including access to a computer and telephone. Appropriate reference materials are available in the resident’s office and pharmacy.
