How much does a cardiologist get paid when he is on a residency program
It depends upon exactly where u r working, but here is some general information:
The 2008 Mean Annual Pre-Tax stipends in United States for a MD Resident (also called house-staff) from any specialty were as follows:
* 1st Year (PGY1 / Intern ): $46,000
* 2nd Year (PGY2): $48,000
* 3rd Year (PGY3): $50,000
* 4th Year (PGY4): $52,000/-
* 5th Year (PGY5): $54,100/-
* 6th Year (PGY6): $56,500/-
Note: These r means based on a national survey by the AAMC - the actual figures can vary by $3,000 to $4000 on either side of the mean, an at times more.
(Residencies like Internal medicine & Family Practice have a duration of three years, Neurology & Pathology is four years while General Surgery is usually 5 years, Neurosurgery 6 years.)
Chief Residents may or may not receive an additional stipend of $2000/- to $3500/- a year (not a rule), & sometimes may include a promise of getting into their fellowship programs

Note that PGY stands for ''Post Graduate Year'' or how many years out of medical school u are. Cardiologists must first complete an internal medicine residency, generally 3 years long, before entering a Cardiology fellowship, generally 3 yrs minimum.
