BENEFITS

UPHS offers multiple learning options so that employees may have the opportunity to pursue further education and improve work related skills. This is a brief summary of what is offered.

Tuition Assistance
Eligible full time employees can receive up to six courses in an academic year. UPHS pays the school directly for your tuition so you won't have to pay upfront.

Professional Development
Eligible employees can receive up to $600 for non-credit-bearing education related to their current position in a fiscal year.

Career Development Options
Employees may choose to participate in one of two UPHS Career Development Workshops or to receive individual career coaching from a UPHS Career Consultant.

Catalog Courses
UPHS offers an array of no-cost professional courses that are open to all UPHS employees and managers. These courses cover a broad spectrum of topics.

Loan Forgiveness
The University of Pennsylvania Health System is committed to supporting newly graduated students in nursing, pharmacy and radiology who are making the transition from learning to working within UPHS. The UPHS loan repayment program is intended to increase the recruitment and retention of clinicians within the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The program provides eligible employees with the opportunity to receive assistance from UPHS to repay student loans incurred in connection with the individual's studies.
