What is the salary?

Residents receive a stipend of $53,500/year, paid in equally divided amounts every two weeks. The budgetary cycle for the hospital does not coincide with the resident recruitment cycle. The offered stipend is based on the current residency year. It is customary for the program to review and request upward adjustments to the residents' stipend to make it commensurate with the prevailing residency marketplace wage before the start of the next residency year. 

What insurance coverage do residents receive? 

Residents also receive full medical, dental, and vision benefits for immediate family (employee chooses from a variety of offered plans, including co-pay and deductible plans), as well as life and disability insurance (you may elect to add additional coverage). 

Do residents receive vacation time? 

Residents receive 80 hours of paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays. Residents will be required to work 1 major and 1 minor holiday. Educational leave (e.g. conferences and interviews) is granted at the Residency Program Director's discretion and separate from PTO. Coverage of educational expenses is available as the annual budget allows.
