What is the salary? 

Residents receive a stipend of $56,500/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 personal leave and eight paid holidays. Residents are requested to work on or around the time of one major holiday. Additional educational leave is granted at the discretion of the Residency Program Director. Coverage of educational expenses is available as the annual budget allows.
