Salary

Please see the Harbor-UCLA Main Website link on Salary and Benefits.

Briefly, the salary starts at roughly $55,000 with a significant increase per PGY year. In addition, a stipend is provided to purchase various types of insurance (e.g., health, dental, disability, life, vision) and money that is not spent on that will be added to your salary (most residents get an additional $2,000 per year in unspent stipend money). Bilingual residents may also receive an additional $1,200 per year as a bonus. A CIR provided professional educational bonus of $1,000 per year is available. A one time educational bonus of $2,000 at the start of the second year of training will also be provided. A $4,000 per year housing allowance has been recently negotiated to off set the cost of housing in Los Angeles. Sick days that are not taken may be partially converted into additional pay.
