With respect to time away from training, please note that the ABIM has specific requirements regarding the length of training necessary to sit for the Boards. No more than three months in the 36 months can be used for vacation, illness or parental leave.

To address this requirement, while also understanding that residents may require leave during training (e.g. parental leave), we have designed an elective rotation that—with appropriate planning and prior approval by the program director—would allow a resident to participate in a program of self-directed learning that will be considered part of the 36 months of full-time medical residency education required by the ABIM. In this way, a resident could receive credit for a self-study elective (for example, while on parental leave) even though the resident cannot participate in hospital-related activities. If this elective is successfully completed, the resident would not have to extend training beyond the usual 36 consecutive month period.
