Hi all! Have a question regarding fellowship but since there is not a general page for fellows, I am posting here. I had my first baby my first year of fellowship. I used all of my vacation time, and another 4 weeks no pay which I have to make up at the end of my fellowship. I am now pregnant again, and still bitter about my short, unpaid maternity leave. So this time I will be taking 16 weeks afforded to me by short term disability and FMLA. I cannot stress enough that my program is incredibly malignant and I truly do not care what their opinion on this is. (I also am in a fellowship where there are not always fellows on service so this will not affect me co-fellows). My question is how does this work with training? Will I have to make up another 4 months in addition to my 1 month from my first baby? I’m just wondering logistically how long they can keep me. Would appreciate any insight! Thanks.
