All trainees will be provided coverage from either a co-resident or faculty to attend any and all medical appointments for themselves or family, and for any illness. Trainees will inform the program director of these appointments, but not the details of who they are visiting, in order to arrange for coverage. There is a jeopardy fellow on call at all times, who will be in the hospital within an hour of being called.
If there is an occupational related illness trainees can attend the occupational health office at NYP, where mental health services are also available for all employees. Mandatory visits to occupational health are required for the annual health clearance (PPD), and for a needle stick.
