If you want to practice in NY or Delaware you must complete a 1 year residency. A GPR or AEGD will suffice. AEGDs are typically not paid. Often you pay graduate tuition. GPRs tend to be paid, roughly 40k. Otherwise you pass your boards and are able to practice. If you want to specialize, you must apply to the programs you hope to attend and if accepted you go wherever that program is. Specialty programs are generally not paid, except for some surgery residencies.

As long as you pass your boards, yes

Intersting. I didn't know that GPRs tend to be paid positions. Thanks!

I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that hospital based programs tend to be paid while school based programs are not.

i heard from my mom's friend that her son is doing a GPR residency in NY and is getting paid roughly $40k a year....

I know most if not all GPR programs pay.

Other than the GPR programs, there are several other residencies that wont cost you anything. For example, you wont get paid, but your tuition will be paid, so you have no expenses.

GPR in NYC pays 50K per year usually. However, there is still a monetary loss because you could be being paid twice that in private practice.

 

[aphistis]

All accredited GPR programs pay a resident stipend that will vary between individual programs and geographic location.
