Residents enrolling in the Clinician Investigator Program (CIP) at the successful completion of a postgraduate year are entitled to receive the normal PGY salary advancement for completing the previous PGY level. Residents enrolled in CIP will then remain at the same PGY level for the duration of their enrolment in CIP. Upon completion of the Clinician Investigator Program, the resident will return to their home program, at the same PGY level they held during CIP, to complete training, progressing normally on the salary scale.
Residents enrolling in the CIP in the middle of a postgraduate year will enter CIP at their current PGY salary level. Their next salary increase will align with completion of a PGY level in their home program.
