In addition to competitive salaries, UC faculty receive an excellent benefits package which includes the following.

Health Insurance and Dental Insurance

The 1st of the month following 28 days of eligible service, residents/clinical fellows are eligible to participate in one of two health insurance plans and one of two dental insurance plans offered by The University Hospital.

Life Insurance

All full-time residents/clinical fellows receive coverage at two times their annual stipend at no cost. Supplemental Life Insurance, Dependent Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment plans are available at the resident’s/clinical fellow’s expense.

Long Term Disability Insurance

The Long Term Disability Insurance plan pays 60% of the base pay. There is a 180 consecutive day elimination period. There is an own occupation disability definition for 60 months. There is no personal expense.

Short Term Disability Insurance

Under the Short Term Disability program the first five consecutive days of each absence for illness/disability will be paid out of PTO (paid time off) for illness/disability, if available. Following the first five consecutive days of an absence, the resident/clinical fellow will receive 80% pay for the next six weeks followed by 60% pay for the following six weeks. The resident/clinical fellow may elect to supplement short term disability pay with PTO, if available.

Professional Liability Insurance

The University Hospital provides professional liability insurance coverage for activities within the scope of the assigned program. The professional liability insurance will provide coverage for all activities that are part of the training program, and at all sites to which the resident is assigned as part of the training program. The professional liability insurance is of the occurrence type.

Pension

Employment with the University Hospital requires participation in Social Security and in the hospital’s pension plan. Residents/clinical fellows may voluntarily contribute pre-tax dollars in a 403(b) program by working with one of the five exclusive tax deferred annuity providers.

Paid Time Off (PTO)

Per academic year, residents/clinical fellows will receive 20 days of vacation (the equivalent of 4 weeks per year) and 5 days of sick leave. Vacation is to be taken at the mutual convenience of the resident/clinical fellow and the program director. The standard vacation increment is a two week block. PTO may not be carried over from year to year.

Tuition Reimbursement

100% reimbursement for eligible course work when you receive a grade of C or better at accredited institutions. For eligible courses, the plan pays up to $3,000 per calendar year (full-time residents/clinical fellows).

Pre-Employment Drug Screening and Investigative Inquiry

All offers to join a University Hospital/University of Cincinnati College of Medicine residency/clinical fellowship training program, including those through a national matching program, such as the NRMP, or by the Department Chairman or Program Director, are considered conditional. The conditional offer is based upon the satisfactorily passing of a drug screen test and pre-employment inquiry concerning criminal history. Refusal to sign the consent form for the drug screen and/or investigative inquiry will result in the withdrawal of the employment offer.
