How undervalued are you?

A few of the facts on current UW resident/fellow pay and benefits.

• Compared to peer institutions:
  • You receive at least $7,000 less per year in salary
  • You receive at least $6,000 less per year in housing stipend
  • Your cost of living is rising faster than most places
• A survey of 59 peer institutions showed 75% of other residency programs have 4 or 5 weeks of vacation
• Current childcare benefits:
  • The stipend covers two days of childcare per year
  • The waiting period for daycare centers is 1-3 years
• In addition, you pay more for:
  • Parking
  • Public transportation
  • Health insurance
  • Meals on campus
  • Travel for academic conferences
  • Other educational expenses

You keep UW’s hospitals and clinics running, provide excellent patient care, and generate revenue. This is unacceptable – you deserve better.
