The average resident salary in 2020 is $63,400, up from $61,200 in 2019, according to a new report by Medscape. Data in the report is based on a survey of more than 1,600 residents in 30-plus specialties from April 3 to June 1. It does not reflect that some residents are at higher training levels.

Why do medical residents make so little?

Resident doctors are most likely paid “so little” in the United States because a large part of residency program funding falls under the auspices of Medicare and funds allocated to Medicare (for training residents) have been frozen since 1997. Further microeconomic factors play in as well.

How many hours a week does a medical resident work?

80 hours

How long is a doctors shift?

The majority of departments have shifts that are 8-12 hours (8-10 being most common), and staff multiple physicians during each shift, tailoring up or down for the busiest/slowest times of the day. I personally see patients for 8 hours on average, but my shift isn’t necessarily done at 8 hours.

Do medical residents work weekends?

Even during a lighter rotation, clinic or elective block, there are scheduled weekend shifts in order to give other residents working in the inpatient setting a day off. An 80- hour workweek is the limit set by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Do medical residents get time off?

Residency programs typically offer between two and four weeks of vacation, with the flexibility to schedule them increasing as residents advance in their training.
