Do you get paid during the clinical fellowship?

[alejandro112]

Do you get paid once you graduate and start doing your fellowship? I was just wondering if SLPs get paid during the residency as I am trying to figure out how much money I am going to need to borrow. I heard audiologists make on average 40k during their residency (in California), but that is 12 months I believe and not 9. I will be attending school in New York.

Thanks

I believe that all CFYs are paid, unless you have some really unusual circumstances.  For example, I read that if I were to take a paid CFY during completion of a specific PhD program, they would drop their funding during the CFY year.  So in some instances you might opt for an unpaid CFY.

Yes you should be paid during your CFY. Some places offer unpaid CFY positions but I'd steer clear of those.

Thanks does anyone know what they pay? I am trying to figure out if I am going to need a co-signer for loans. Thanks!

The only thing you shouldn't expect pay in is externships.

How much you get paid for your cfy varies greatly depending on things like location(different minimum standards of living), setting, and company/district.

I've never heard of someone getting paid less than $20/hour, with benefits, for their CFY. 

Talk to your program director or see if you can reach out to alumni from your school - they should be able to get some information for you!
