Health Benefits & Eligibility

People make UC great, and UC recognizes your contributions by making this a great place to work.

For details about your medical, dental, or vision benefit plans please check out the UC Resident Benefits website.

Benefit Eligibility

You are eligible for House Staff insurance benefits if you are a full-time intern, resident, or fellow with direct patient care responsibilities and if you have been awarded a Doctor of Medicine (or equivalent degree) or Doctor of Dentistry (or equivalent degree). House Staff enrolled in training programs are eligible for benefits for the duration of the program, even if performing duties that are not directly related to patient care. Adjunct instructors (junior faculty) who function as House Staff but are paid by both House Staff and faculty funds are also eligible for benefits.
