In extenuating circumstances, the Dean may make exceptions to this policy. GMEC July 2005
House Officer level and compensation is based on a trainee successfully completing all requirements for academic promotion to the next PGY level. House Officers not academically promoted or who must repeat all or part of a year prior to academic promotion will be paid at the current PGY level until academically promoted by the Program.
