Internal moonlighting on the weekends is now available at UCI Medical Center in the Department of Psychiatry. Residents work directly with attendings to round in the hospital and see consultations on weekends, so this internal moonlighting also includes excellent additional educational opportunities to get clinical teaching and supervision from UCI attendings.
Whereas the majority of residents pursue extra clinical experience, some have received supplementary compensation for other projects such as writing or speaking engagements.
In general, the UCI Psychiatry Department may permit internal and external moonlighting activity for residents in good standing who receive written pre-approval from the residency training director provided the activity does not conflict with the resident's academic performance and as long as it complies with the requirements of ACGME.
