Greetings UBC Department of Psychiatry Clinical Faculty,
I hope this E-mail finds you well as we enter the summer season!
Thanks for all who attended the UBC Psychiatry Research Day and Clinical Faculty Dinner on June 13th. Congrats to all award winners for this year.
Clinical Teaching Payment Information
For those who missed the dinner, I’ve attached a PDF of the summary Clinical Teaching Payment Information that was presented. You’ll also see in slide 2 some general reminders around items like the Stimulus Grants and to consider application for promotions.
Here’s the summary for teaching payments:
- All undergrad med school teaching and post-grad resident didactic teaching tracked through the Department’s Teaching Tracking & Payment System (TTPS). You should not need to do any submissions. Currently $106.03 per hour or unit as of July 1. You should see cheque or deposit about 2 months after the end of each quarter.
- Postgrad Psychotherapy & Research supervisors still need to submit invoices. Paid yearly.
- Resident clinical supervision (ie. on the wards) will be based on an amount provided by the Faculty of Medicine for each resident. Supervisors are tracked by the Department and will get a percentage based on resident shared among a number of staff. Ballpark estimate: if a resident is on the ward with you as sole supervisor, this works out to about $700/month currently. Each EPA you assess/submit is $25. All payments made yearly and you should see cheque or deposit between June and July.
You can also visit the Clinical Faculty webpage for more details on Clinical Faculty Payments for Teaching!
