## Program overview

Pediatric Dentistry is an affiliated program of Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM). Clinical training is primarily conducted at Boston Children’s Hospital or at our 22-chair, state-of-the art clinic at 2 Brookline Place. The residency program is a stipend program, and salary is based on academic year (PGY-1 or PGY-2). The AY2027 salary is currently $81,919 (PGY-1) and $88,340 (PGY-2). In addition, we provide a $10,000 cost of living stipend that is dispersed in full at the beginning of the academic year.
