Resident and Fellow Reimbursements

Dental / Medical / Optometry Licensure

Incoming residents in the dental, optometry and medical residency programs are eligible for reimbursement of the Kentucky Board of Optometry, Kentucky Board of Dentistry or Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure licensure fees (credentialing i.e. FCVS / background fees / exams are NOT covered under this reimbursement). All continuing residents should await instruction from the GME office for licensure application or renewal, as the GME office pays the licensure fees via our credit card, rather than providing reimbursement to the resident. Pharmacy residents, please contact your program coordinator for questions regarding your licensure application and payment procedures.

To request reimbursement, please submit the requested items into this webform. This submission will begin the reimbursement process.

*Your reimbursement will be a direct deposit into your bank account. You should receive your reimbursement in three to eight weeks. 

Please keep in mind, there are high volume reimbursement times during the year that may increase reimbursement processing time. Thank You.

ACLS / PALS / NRP Certification Renewals

Residents under contract in the GME office are eligible for reimbursement for the ACLS/PALS/NRP certifications that are required by your program. GME strongly recommends that residents take the free courses through CE Central / First Response of the Bluegrass, so that no out of pocket money is required. However, if this vendor cannot accommodate your schedule and you need to use another vendor that requires payment, the GME can reimburse this fee. Incoming residents are not eligible for reimbursement of this fee as this is a requirement of employment to start in your training program. 

*Incoming Residents and Fellows are not reimbursed for first year required certification, but UK GME does reimburse for certification renewals while enrolled in a UK GME program.
