Home Clinical Services Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program Clinical Training Salary and Benefits
Flower Clinical Training: Benefits 2009-2010
Salaries (2009-2010)

Year 1 - $56,238
Year 2 - $58,710
Year 3 - $66,000

In addition, upper year fellows who wish can supplement their salaries since some weekday, in-house stem cell transplant call is covered by moonlighters ($100/hour or $1000/shift).

Salary support: The fellow's salary is supported by clinical funds during the clinical year of training. Two training grants (13-14 slots) are available to support fellows during their research years. Fellows can receive up to three years of support from the training grants, but many choose to apply for other fellowships, especially "K-awards" (K08, K23, etc), after one or two years of research because of the higher stipend ($75,000 per year) they offer.

Fellowship Year Amount Allowance based upon
