Stipend
Beginning in academic year 23/24, residents and clinical fellows in most GME office approved programs will receive an $10,000 stipend annually. The stipend is intended to assist with the cost of housing, child care, or any other financial challenges. This stipend is in addition to the salary paid to the trainee.
Trainees who have question about their specific circumstance (i.e. program, year in program) and eligibility should discuss this first with their program director, who can then discuss this with the Director of GME.

In addition to the adjusted PGY scale and the newly-instituted annual stipend, other benefit changes include:
- No payroll deduction for participation in health insurance* (employee only coverage in the Select plan), expanded to include residents at Salem and Newton-Wellesley Hospitals, and all clinical fellows.
