Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the right thread for this but hopefully it's appropriate.
I was looking over the SoCal Kaiser Residency Salary & Benefits page (link below) and I noticed that there was a pension included that seems to kick in after 1 year of employment with 1000 hours. Theres also a link to a pamphlet which mentions that "retirement income based on your compensation and years of service when you retire" and that you are fully vested in the plan after 5 years.

Does anyone know if this pension has anything to do with the actual Kaiser pension? Like if say you spent 6 years as a resident/fellow (assuming fellows are included) training with Kaiser SoCal (1 year for the pension to kick in and 5 years to be fully vested) and worked an additional 5 years as an attending you could stand to have a pension as described by the common plan linked below? Or is this a completely disjointed thing from the pension described for attending physicians (which also strikes me as odd seeing as who includes a pension for a position that is by design temporary?).

I understand this is probably something most residents would never be able to take advantage of (1 year to kick in and 5 years to get fully vested lol) but I'm just imagining a scenario where after 6 years of training and 5 years of being an attending, a pension is already guaranteed (assuming the well doesnt run dry).
