The official source documents the training themes listed above; exact case numbers, independent responsibility and operative autonomy are not inferred when unpublished.
Research exposure: Research activity is described by the indexed source; review the official page for the current scope.
Funding, fees and support
Mass General Brigham’s housestaff scale effective 1 July 2026 lists annual base salary of USD106,612 at PGY6 and USD112,535 at PGY7. An additional USD10,500 stipend is described for most GME-approved programmes, subject to programme eligibility. Confirm the appointment’s actual grade and stipend eligibility; future-year rates are not established by this table.
Accommodation, relocation, insurance and additional fees are not assumed when they are absent from the official source.
Source limitations and conflicting information
November 2026–January 2027 is the application window, Spring 2027 is the interview season, and August 2028 is the prior-training completion requirement. Month-only dates are not converted into invented daily calendar events.
The central GME page supplies current institutional salary rates separately from conference support. It says the additional stipend covers most approved programmes, so stipend eligibility is conditional; base salary and that additional payment are not conflated. Individual pay level is set in the annual appointment contract.
