BENEFITS



Salary, Scheduling & Wellness

Fellows may be paid either by SUNY Downstate or by Kings County Hospital. Salaries vary slightly by institution. In addition to basic pay, fellows are allocated meal and/or location stipends depending on pay source. Fellows are provided membership to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Additional conference reimbursements are provided when presenting at regional and national meetings or conferences. The base salary for a PGY-4 is approximately $65,000.

You are provided with 4 weeks of vacation in total. As PEM fellows are on “shift schedules” you may feel isolated – rest assured at Downstate, we are very much a family. We have multiple wellness days a year and are friends as well as colleagues. We certainly hope to get to know you well and see you through a successful fellowship!
