<p>Does a residency/fellowship cost the student any money (ie tuition)</p>
<p>No, it is a job and therefore residents and fellows get paid for their work. They don’t make very much, though.</p>
<p>Thank god it’s not more money…</p>
<p>I average working about 70 hours a week and have a monthly take home pay of about $2800 a month…Of course some weeks I work more than that. And until last week when I finally got a week of vacation, the last time I had two consecutive days off (ie like a full weekend) had been back during the holidays during my 6 days of vacation over New Year’s (though I had been on call overnight on December 19th, 22nd, 25th and 28th prior to that which sucked).</p>
