Residency Hours
A minimum of 2000 hours (one year), are required for completion of the residency program. The expectation of the residency program is that residents will expend the time and effort necessary to effectively complete the program objectives. More than a 40-hour workweek is required to obtain the maximum benefits of the program and accomplish all goals. Resident positions are considered “exempt” (salaried) positions by PAMC and not paid per hour. Presentation of the resident’s certificate is contingent upon completion of all ASHP and program objectives.
