IV.A.6 Advanced Standing for House Officers with Previous Post Graduate Training

The School of Medicine will not pay House Officers at a higher level of salary if House Officers have completed internships or residencies prior to entering the LSU residency programs as post-graduate year 1 level trainees. For pay purposes, House Officers will be paid at the lowest PGY rate at which they can enter a program. If they can enter as a PGY-1 they will be paid as a PGY-1. If they must have one year of training (e.g., preliminary year) before they can begin training, they will be classified as a PGY-2, regardless of past training. In cases where House Officers could enter after two training years (e.g., Plastic Surgery), the House Officers will be paid at either level as determined by the GME Office. Other cases will be considered individually.
A House Officer that transfers into a program from another training program will be appointed and paid at his/her current level of training if all previous training months are approved by the specialty board of the program into which the House Officer transferred. If the Board does not accept any of the House Officer's previous training, the House Officer will begin at the HO 1 level.
