House Staff Fringe Benefits

Hospital stipends are competitive nationally with those of other teaching programs and range from $41,000-49,000 annually, depending on the year of training as shown below. In addition, the Department of Radiology allows each resident an education fund of $500 per year for such items as books, membership dues, or journal subscriptions.

Low-cost hospitalization and dental insurance are available to contracted house staff, as well as a group life insurance plan. Medical malpractice insurance is provided for radiology house staff by the department through the University of Texas System group plan.

Each resident receives three weeks of personal leave annually.
