Travel Reimbursements

Acknowledging the increasing cost of gas and travel and the cumulative financial effect on those applying for residency, Children’s Mercy Hospital is pleased to offer travel reimbursement for applicants invited to interview in our pediatrics residency programs. Travel will be reimbursed up to $300 per applicant for roundtrip coach airfare within the continental United States. If traveling by car and if travel distance one way to Children's Mercy is greater than 50 miles, roundtrip gas mileage to your home destination will be reimbursed at 58.5¢/mile up to $300 per applicant. Mileage will be calculated based upon Mapquest-derived data between your home address and Children’s Mercy Hospital. A copy of the airline itinerary including ticket price or a completed expense report documenting mileage driven must be submitted to our program coordinator, Miranda Handke, by February 6, 2009 to process your reimbursement.

Children’s Mercy Hospital also provides one night hotel accommodation at a local hotel and group applicant dinner, breakfast, and lunch surrounding your interview day. Please contact Miranda Handke if you have further questions. We look forward to meeting you during your interview day at Children's Mercy Hospital.
