Our CIR union contract states that the University will provide ACLS for INITIAL and RE-certification training at no cost to residents' if it is a required certification by the University. At this time the Internal Medicine program is unwilling to honor article 7 of our contract stating that incoming residents are not employees and do not qualify for this benefit. They claim incoming interns need to complete ACLS PRIOR to their start date and therefore will not be reimbursed. This is in violation of the current contract.

We demand that the University provide options for incoming residents to either receive ACLS training reimbursement or an ACLS group course during orientation

Please sign and circulate this petition with IM residents to ensure that our new Interns receive this benefit as outlined in our contract. We strive to resolve this violation informally by June 10th 2022. Thank you for your support.

I really did not think this would gain so much traction so quickly but the momentum has been honestly wild to watch unfold. Reading through all the notes from you is blowing my mind because it is clear that everyone is feeling the same frustration about this contract situation which I guess keeps me going even when I feel totally scattered.

PAY US BACK. Being an intern is broke enough as it is without paying out of pocket for this.

This happened to me too when I started. They need to just pay up and follow the contract.

Seriously? We already have enough expenses before we even start. This is not right.
