Resident Annual Salaries for 2021-2022

Stipends for residents are competitive with other state schools in the southern region.

Residents receive 21 days of paid vacation each year, plus 5 additional vacation days during any one given year to provide time to interview for fellowships or future employment.

The Department of Radiology will pay the resident’s ABR annual fee (currently $635). Annual fees are charged for every year you are in the initial certification process, beginning with your first year of residency. If you do not fully pass the Core or Certifying examination on the first administration, additional exam fees will apply.
The ABR will send your annual invoice in January of each year, as long as you are in the certification process. The fee amount is subject to adjustment by the ABR each year. All fees are nonrefundable. Fees must be paid on your “myABR” account.

The Department of Radiology will fund up to $1,500 total per year and give professional leave time for those residents who are the first author on a paper or poster that is presented at a meeting. Arrangements must be approved by the program director before travel plans are made.

All residents in our program are expected to attend the 4-week American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) course. The department pays your AFIP tuition and reimburses living expenses up to $1,500. The department pays your salary and benefits while away at the AIRP course. Time and money designated for AIRP may not be used for other purposes.
Reimbursement for travel and meals will also be provided.

The Department of Radiology will send 3^rd-year residents to Board Reviews before the core exam, either physics or diagnostic or both (not to exceed $2,500).
