Salary and Benefits

Orientation
We provide a one-to two-week orientation period at the end of June prior to starting the clinical work of the first year. This time serves as an introduction and beginning of community building between faculty and residents. We also have our incoming residents get to know United Hospital, the clinic and its support team, as well as the community. Part of this time is used to certify or recertify incoming residents in BLS/ACLS and NRP.

Resident Stress
We are committed to helping residents continue to balance their lives. This includes their commitment to their profession, as well as commitment to self and family well-being. To this end, we have developed the following areas of support : 

  • Quarterly meetings with faculty advisors (mentors); these may be held more frequently based on need
  • Monthly support group, facilitated by a professional
  • Periodic faculty/resident retreats and social gatherings

Vacations
Residents are given three weeks of vacation per academic year. Year one has one week taken within the family medicine rotation. The additional weeks are allowed during other rotations.

Reduced Time Schedule
We are unable to offer part-time positions. We do, however, offer family leave consistent with federal guidelines.

Salaries For Academic Year 2010 - 2011
First Year: $47,587
Second Year: $49,293
Third Year: $50,988

Moonlighting
Second and third year residents may moonlight, providing it does not interfere with their primary residency work. In the second and third year, moonlighting is encouraged in a hospital or clinic in which the resident hopes to affiliate with upon graduation. Moonlighting is available within the Allina Hospitals and Clinics system, allowing for persons to become familiar with post-training opportunities. It also allows for some supervision that enhances the educational component of the process and allows formal feedback to occur. Moonlighting outside of the organization is not covered by Allina’s malpractice insurance.
