What’s right?
10K relocation stipend for each PGY-1.
Guaranteed minimum salary of
$100K for PGY-1
$110 K for PGY-2
$117K for PGY-3
No fellow should be making less than $125K.
Residents and fellows add too much value to the bottom line of the hospital system.
Let’s not forget, the @cmsgov $/RVU conversion has decreased reimbursement universally every year since 2020. 6% cut in reimbursement through a pandemic…in an economic setting of 4.5% inflation. How does that make sense to have over a 10% pay cut for our “healthcare heroes”? 🤨@AmerMedicalAssn@AMPAConline@ACEPAdvocacy
