Department Benefit Summary

Professional Development

A portion of the Department's annual operating budget is allocated to promote and support the academic growth of our residents each fiscal year.  This is accomplished by providing each resident a Professional Development Account (PDA) with a defined level of annual funding.  Residents receive $1000 to $1500 per year depending on their year of training to be used for educational expenses.  At the resident's discretion, these can include:

• Professional books and journals
• Software
• Medical equipment such as stethoscopes
• Electronic devices used for educational purposes such as cell phone and personal digital assistants
• Travel expenses for medical meetings
• Medical society memberships

Residents who represent the department by presenting research at scientific meetings or acting as a resident representatives to organizations such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists receive additional funding to support these activities.
