Are SURF Programs Paid?

[FutureAnesthesiologist87]

I'm interested in applying to a SURF at Mayo Jacksonville or Cincinatti Children's, but I don't see any indication of a stipend. If they are not paid, I can still afford to go, but does this mean that they are easier to get into?

Pretty sure Mayo provides a stipend, and probably just a lil easier than an NIH or NSF sponsored one.

Because you didn't look hard enough.

Most summer programs will offer a stipend, although the amount can vary greatly. Some even pay things like travel expenses and housing, like Amgen (best package IMO).
