"Residency Stipend Programs" become more prevalent

Besides moonlighting, another good way for residents looking to add extra dollars to their average $45,000 a year stipends is signing up early for jobs and getting paid additional monthy bonuses from their future employers in advance. This is something that I had already mentioned on my post about "Bonus Job Payments Long before Residency Ends"

Recently we Internal medicine residents received a flyer from a recruiter in Twin Cities, MN that went like this (click to enlarge):

Of course, IMGs doing residencies on J1 / H1b visas cannot be paid in advance by another employer, but if they signed up for employment in the same institution network as their residency program, they possibly can.

IM / primary care / hospitalist job market is certainly pretty hot at the moment, I routinely get about 5-10 legitimate job offer email a day !
