This policy applies to new residents recruited as of July 1, 1997.
Prior commitments are honored for residents employed and/or recruited
(but not matriculated) prior to that date.
Note: Residents are defined as those
trainees who are enrolled in a core residency program.
- In general all trainees within a given core residency cohort should
be assigned the same PGY salary.
- Each core residency program will designate the appropriate PGY
level for its entering class, as determined by the number of years
of preliminary internship/residency training required by the program.
- When a trainee has been approved for an individualized core residency
curriculum leading to double-boarding (e.g., Medicine-Neurology,
Medicine- or Surgery-Anesthesia, Surgery-Emergency Medicine, Medicine
or Neurology-Physiatry) "credit" toward PGY designation
will be given for all years of training in both specialties.
- Residency program directors may occasionally identify exceptional
circumstances, such as extensive prior training in a related specialty,
that enhance and expand a trainee's role within his/her core residency
cohort. In such circumstances the department may decide to designate
all trainees within the defined special category at a higher PGY
level, and pay the identified additional salary support out of departmental
discretionary funds (i.e., not through hospital funds). It is assumed
that this will occur infrequently and only after careful consideration
of parity issues.
- No uniform requirements for salaries for trainees in fellowship
programs are currently recommended.
