Quick question for those familiar with residency finances:
Is it possible—or common—for residents to average around $100K per year during training? Specifically for the 6-year OMFS track, do the two years spent in medical school typically allow more time for moonlighting, potentially leading to a higher overall income?

Google PGY1-6 salaries at programs, most are public information. Some allow moonlighting but it is not guaranteed and mostly kept closer to the chest.

lol. No. completely unrealistic. Most of 6 year residencies in larger cities actually do not allow moonlighting and some don't even pay you a salary during medical school. Those in less desirable locations do allow it but offices aren't open after your medical school responsibilities end so its hard to get hours.

a couple of 6 year programs pay you throughout.

a lot of 6 year programs are unique in their rules.

I made between 10-25k a year moonlighting during the medical school years.

This is why most 6 year guys never work in academics anymore and are going corporate.
