Employment & Benefits

Current Residents/Fellows Benefits on O2
Benefits
OHSU residents and fellows are provided various plans from which to choose for medical, dental, vision, prescription and life insurances, with optional coverages including disability, AD&D and family coverage. OHSU pays for most of the costs of the monthly premium for employees and part of the costs of the monthly premium for spouses and children.
Residents and fellows will have default benefits on their first day physically working at OHSU – either the GME check-in appointment or program orientation. The default benefit plan covers the individual resident/fellow only with the OHSU PPO, Moda Dental and $25,000 core life insurance. Residents and fellows will have the option to make changes to their benefit plans and add family members at their GME check-in session. Options include adding family members, changing medical, dental, and vision policies, adding accidental death and dismemberment coverage, increasing voluntary life insurance, and selecting short and long-term disability coverage.

Professional liability insurance is provided to residents/fellows through OHSU and covers all duties and acts performed within the scope of the training program.
A resident/fellow appointed through Graduate Medical Education is indemnified and defended by the university through the provision of the Oregon Tort Claims Act (ORS 30.260 through 30.300) when acting in the scope and course of his/her employment by the university. The coverage is maintained in such a manner as to create no tail exposure for any resident/fellow after they have completed their training program.
