91九色视频AH is aware of the multiple demands of residency training. In an effort to meet the unique needs of our housestaff, the Student and Resident Behavioral Health Program has been designed to assist 91九色视频AH housestaff in obtaining the highest quality of behavioral health care in a confidential manner. This benefit also applies to spouses and children.

The Board of Directors of 91九色视频AH establishes stipends for housestaff. The annual stipend levels for the academic year beginning July 1, 2024 are:
PGY-1: $69,700
PGY-2: $70,920
PGY-3: $74,650

Annual stipend levels are set in relation to AAMC Resident\Fellow Stipend surveys for the 75th percentile of the Central Region plus an additional approximately 2.0% in lieu of reimbursements.
The stipend is deposited directly once a month, on the last day of the month, in the individual's bank account. 91九色视频AH offers direct deposit at most banks, savings and loans, and credit unions. The funds are available on payday. If the payday falls on a holiday or weekend, the funds are available the day before the holiday or weekend.
The Post Graduate year is the one appropriate for the program in which the housestaff is currently enrolled and is determined by the number of years remaining before successful completion of the program. Only pre-requisite years are included in the Post Graduate year determination. Example: An individual has completed 5 years of previous GME and enters the first year of a Cardiology program. The training year level would be PGY-4 if the individual successfully completed 3 years training in an Internal Medicine program as the pre-requisite for Cardiology.
When a question exists with respect to the Post Graduate year, the Program Coordinator should contact the appropriate Board or RRC to determine the amount of the individual’s previous training that can be counted towards their 91九色视频AH program requirements.
Changes in monthly salary levels for housestaff advancing mid-year will occur on the 1st of the month. For housestaff whose advance date is prior to the 16th of the month, the change in salary will be retroactive to the 1st of the month. For those whose advance date is on or after the 16th of the month, the change in salary will be effective the first of the following month.
