Things to know before submitting a fixed goal:

  • Fixed goals are built to calculate expenses for a resident/intern with predetermined start and end dates (e.g. 24 months).
  • Fixed goals can have a number of expenses and one-time costs, all dependent on your program's specific parameters.
  • If an expense listed below is not on your Support Goal Calculator, it is not an offered or required expense for your program.
  • *Residents/interns under the Fixed Term Program Team will receive an Employment Parameters document at training that outlines their program details.

With your Support Goal Calculator pulled up in Toolbox, we encourage you to start by reviewing the Goal Summary first. You may find required fees listed here that are not part of the calculator (because they are required).
You can continue to check on the Goal Summary as you make changes to the calculator.
