What is the Financial Assistance Program (FAP)?

The  FAP  is designed to provide significant financial support during your residency, ensuring you can focus on your education without the added stress of financial concerns.

FAP Benefits During Residency:

• $45,000 Annual Grant  — Paid directly to you
