Employment, Salary and Benefits

Fellows are full-time employees who are credentialed solely by Family Health Center of Worcester. Physician fellows are paid a starting salary of $135,000 per year. NP and PA fellows can expect a starting salary of $112,500 per year. Fellows are fully eligible for health, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits. They receive four weeks of paid vacation time, paid sick and personal time, and five days of continuing medical education time and financial support. We offer reimbursement for licensure, DEA and MCSR registration, and board certification, as well as professional membership dues reimbursement.

Although the fellowship has an academic affiliation with UMass Chan Medical School, fellows are not UMass employees nor are they credentialed to work at UMass Memorial Medical Center. Reflecting their role as educators within the fellowship’s model, they are granted a faculty appointment through the UMass Department of Family Medicine and Community Health as Instructors.
