The UCSF School of Medicine is sensitive to the high cost of living in San Francisco, as well as the financial strain on most residents. We strive to provide a competitive salary, housing stipends, bilingual pay and other benefits to recruit and retain the highest caliber of future family physicians to our program. Resident salaries and benefits are negotiated at the institutional level for all UCSF residents and clinical fellows.
*Please note: these salaries are based on the 2024-25 UC salary scale.

PGY-1 $92,284.00 (inculding housing stipend)

Bilingual Pay
Residents who pass proficiency exams in Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Russian, Tagalog or Arabic are eligible for an additional bilingual stipend through the City and County of San Francisco. Qualified residents receive an additional $120 per month in bilingual pay during SFGH rotations.
Insurance
UCSF provides medical, dental, and vision benefits to residents and their dependents- including domestic partners. An HMO plan is offered at no cost to residents; and a traditional PPO plan is offered that requires a premium co-payment by the resident.
Residents receive long-term disability and life insurance coverage at no cost.
