Anyone know if resident salaries are inflation adjusted each year?

Do most programs adjust the salary for inflation? With inflation perhaps at 5% this year I am wondering...

Most places (at least mine does) give you an annual 1-2% increase for cost of living, in addition to the raise you get for progressing in your training.

Seems that is the case. On my interview trail several programs showed the applicants updated salaries for the next year. They were slightly higher for each PGY position compared to the ones posted on ERAS. I couldn't tell you the exact percentage though.

Every place differs. I haven't seen any that put a freeze on salaries though.

We have a cost of living increase each year, although it's not large. It seems that most places do.
