Child Care Center
Children's has established a Child Care Center for the children of hospital employees and staff in response to the need for high quality and convenient childcare.
The hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for Hospital-recognized holidays.
The center can accommodate 42 children, ages three months to five years. There are some reduced tuition rates available and these are offered based on gross family income on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more information about the program, or for a tour, please call the director at 617-355-6006.
Vacation/leave
We provide three weeks of vacation plus one week of conference time. Residents are expected to give a minimum of eight weeks notice of planned vacations or meetings. Absences during the first two months and last month of the program are discouraged and require special permission from the training director.
Educational resources for books and travel to meetings
Upon entry to our program, residents receive three textbooks covering: 1) general child and adolescent psychiatry, 2) child psychiatry and the law and 3) pediatric psychosomatic medicine.
Each resident will have $500/year allowance to be used towards expenses incurred when attending conferences. Should a resident be presenting a poster/abstract/paper at a conference, s/he will have up to $1500/year allowance for travel expenses.
Emergency call frequency
Over the course of the two years of training, residents are on-call an average of once every tenth night/weekend day. This is usually a second or back-up call except for Friday evenings at 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. All calls are taken from home, except for morning rounds on Bader 5 on weekends and holidays.
On-call attending staff make rounds with the resident and review each case seen by the resident in any of the settings. Attendings are available to jointly see cases when indicated and to directly assist residents when the volume of calls is high. A resource specialist works the busiest 20 hours of the Saturday and Sunday call, in order to assist the resident with any disposition work that is needed.
Moonlighting policy
Moonlighting at other facilities is permitted and residents are covered for malpractice while moonlighting. Residents are allowed to moonlight a total of two weeknights and one weekend day per month. Residents must inform the training director of their moonlighting activity.
