mc161921 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I know the salary varies depending on the state/ and the population/setting, but I was wondering what to expect. I know there’s websites that have average salaries, but if anyone is in there CF or knows someone who is and knows the starting salary with their setting, it would be very helpful to share!

Rezzy S. Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Wow, good question. I didn't realize how little information there is out there on clinical fellowship year (CFY) pay. I would ignore averages on websites like Payscale and Glassdoor because it looks like they're grouping SLP (CCC) and CFY and getting an average of the two together because job postings for CFY candidates are often open to SLPs as well. I came across some anecdotal information on Reddit. While one person says doing your CFY in a school in Miami would get you $40k, another person makes a questionable claim that their former classmate is making $65 an hour in NYC! But a couple people mentioned between $55k and $70k, which seems more realistic to me (particularly the lower end). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to start out at $60k Edited April 20, 2019 by mc161921 bibliophile222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toya Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I agree. SLPAs in CA don't even start at 40k so a CF shouldn't be anywhere near that. I know a few CFs started off between 65-70k. nguyen16041, VS-SLP2B and Rezzy S. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
