AEGD residents receive a stipend while enrolled in the program. Salary follows the Graduate Medical Education resident and fellow salary schedule, but is funded through UB Research Foundation. 

UB also offers a wide range of benefits beyond salary. Details on these benefits can be viewed on UB's Human Resources My Benefits page under Research Foundation, Regular Employee.

International Scholars
This program does not offer salary or stipend and students must dual enroll in a master's program and pay tuition and fees.
