I am just finishing up my 3rd year and will be applying to Ob/Gyn in the fall.

I have a general question about residency salary.

I have noticed that they range from low 40s to low 50s and i was just wondering if this is really a difference in the paycheck you actually get (maybe the "higher paying" programs just take more out for benefits?).

I'm definitely not going to rank programs based on pay but I was just curious if these figures really amount to major differences in the actual check you get every couple of weeks.

Thank you!
 
There is a noticeable difference for sure. Be sure to consider cost of living in the area as well. 40k in Iowa is a lot different than 40k in NYC.
