Compensation and benefits
Orientation
We provide a two-week orientation period in June prior to starting the clinical work of the first year. This time serves as an introduction and beginning of community building between faculty and residents. Incoming residents will be introduced to United Hospital, the United Family Physicians Clinic and its support team, as well as the St. Paul West 7th community.
Resident wellness
We are committed to helping residents continue to balance their lives. This includes their commitment to their profession, as well as commitment to self and family well-being. To this end, we have developed the following areas of support:
- Mangata (meaning 'reflection of the light on the water') is the resident wellness curriculum
- Wellness and stress management topics covered regularly in the noon conference series
- Personal faculty advisor (mentor)
- Monthly support group for each class, facilitated by a professional
- Quarterly half day of paid personal time
- Residency retreats and social gatherings
- Many wellness resources available to residents free of charge as Allina Health employees
Vacation
Residents receive three weeks of vacation per academic year (21 days). Year one has one week scheduled over the December holiday within the Family Medicine Month rotation. The additional weeks are allowed during other designated rotations.
Reduced time schedule
We are unable to offer part-time positions. We do, however, offer family leave consistent with federal and ACGME guidelines.
Salaries for academic year 2023-2024

Moonlighting
Second and third year residents may moonlight, providing it does not interfere with their primary residency work.
