Financial Support
Initially, PAACS provides approximately 75% of the total cost of training the resident but, by year six, the hospital will increasingly provide more of the cost of training until there is a 50/50 split at year 10. However, the hospital often has to invest a few hundred thousand dollars in infrastructure before or during the first few years of the program (housing; updates to the operating theaters, recovery rooms, intensive care units, casualty department; outpatient department and any required improvement to other supporting departments). PAACS does not provide money for infrastructure.
