Educational Stipend
Residents receive a stipend to be used for reimbursement of educational items and required travel with approval. Reimbursable items include, but not limited to, minor medical equipment, textbooks, journals, online educational applications, and approved association memberships. Residents will be reimbursed for expenses when proper documentation is submitted such as paid receipts, credit card statements and/or invoices from vendors. Graduate Medical Education reserves the right to deny reimbursement of any item deemed ineligible. To guarantee reimbursement, pre-approval of expenses (both educational and travel) is recommended. The funding does not carry over from year to year.
Educational Conferences
Residents may be required to attend specialty college conferences. A travel allowance will be provided for registration, hotel, per diem and airfare.
Professional Liability Insurance
Professional liability insurance is provided for all resident rotations included as part of the program’s curriculum. This coverage is not extended to elective rotations that are outside of a Cleveland Clinic facility.
Moonlighting Practice
PGY-1 residents are not permitted to engage in any moonlighting activity within the hospital, outside institutions, or private offices.
PGY-2 through PGY-5 residents may engage in moonlighting activities with prior approval and if conducted within the ACGME rules governing work hour limitations.
Under no circumstances can moonlighting activity interfere with the residency obligation and must not occur during residency work hours. This includes moonlighting while on-duty.

Food is provided for Residents who are on in-house call each day. Snack options are also available in the Residents' kitchen.

New Resident Orientation
All newly appointed Residents must attend two full weeks of GME Orientation at the end of June and prior to starting their training on July 1. We also request that new Residents not schedule any time off in July as there are several additional mandatory Orientation sessions scheduled throughout the month. Missing any portion of Orientation may delay the trainee's start date.
