salary differential w/ residency training

In your experience/ at your institution, is there a salary differential for residency training? Same question for board certification credentials, or is that just somewhat of an expectation for clinical/ hybrid positions?

Residency is expected of all newly hired pharmacists.
Board certification: supposed to be a small differential, but there's over a year backlog of processing the applications for additional salary (this is for federal).
In private hospitals, I've heard of no extra pay for BCPS.

Private hospital here (non-profit system):

1) residency expected of all new hires unless you're 5-7+ year experienced in a deep clinical setting (not just staffing duties).

2) BCPS fees are paid for and the extra pay amounts to ~$1500/yr

I know of hospital systems with 5-10% raises for BcPS, or others with a one time bonus.

My pgy2 gave me a 10+% raise in initial pay over new grads at my community not for profit hospital.

BCPS - nothing - we get the exam and live CE's reimbursed
Residency - nothing specific, you get a year credit in the experience ladder - basically it comes down to how much you negiate

Did you take the BCPS then?!

are these positions unionized? some of the places i've rotated thru as a student treated clinical pharmacists as managers, some actually had different "tiers" of pharmacists (clinical and staff) but all were union positions

Yup.

Non-union here. F*ck unions, pieces of corrupt garbage.

Regular job is non Union.

My per diem is union, but I think I'm the only BcPS there.

I don't know what my non-residency trained coworkers make. I know I make $3/hr more in my hospital job than my float retail job. I know, based on what is said on SDN, I must be a big fat liar, but it's true. And that doesn't include any call pay.

I didn't get a raise for BCPS but work paid for the exam and do pay some of the associated fees.

Our health system pays the same, whether residency trained or not. They do not pay for BCPS but the credential will be considered as a factor to justify pay increase at next performance review, although it is not an automatic pay increase. I am still debating whether I will get board certified in my specialty or not.

I used to work as a union hospital clinical pharmacist and my pay was also ~$3-4/hr more than my float retail job.

If you're a big fat liar for +$3 above retail, I must be a straight up politician at +$8 above retail (without differential).

 

[rl123]

is there any benefit for having a clinical hybrid job be a union-position?

 

[njac]

I probably would not turn down a unicorn job because it was
Union.
