Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident/Fellow Benefits

Open Enrollment for the 2026/2027 plan year is happening soon and will run from June 8 through June 26 for Graduate Medical Education residents. This is your annual opportunity to review your current benefits, make changes, or enroll for the first time. New residents must enroll within 30 days of their hire date.

If you take no action during Open Enrollment, your current benefits will continue for the next plan year. New residents who take no action will be automatically enrolled in the high option medical plan (LAX).
