Resident doctors say offer didn’t come close to addressing real problems.
The plan, which was presented to resident doctors during an online information session June 15, offered new graduates and those who completed their residency in the last 12 months with an incentive-filled full-time contract. It included starting new doctors at a second-year salary of $295,457, as well as a one-time $25,000-bonus on contracts signed before Sept. 30, and a five-year loan forgiveness program for up to $130,000.
“You don’t actually make what they’re stating. You make less than half of that,” Trigo [resident at the University of British Columbia’s family medicine program] said.
