on surveys of physicians in different medical specialities, and
are publically available on the web (see the Physicians Search
website). This information can be used in several ways, specifically
in evaluating different physician
job possibilities. In particular, psychiatry salaries vary

is also available on how psychiatry
salaries vary by geographical region.
First, locum
tenens positions will often set base pay scale on the
national average income. The pay can be adjusted by local cost-of-living
difference from the national average.
In evaluating a physician job offer it is important to know the
average pay for a given specialty. Independent of locum tenens
positions, the national average of physician salaries in different
specialties is often used as a target: a physician who generates
the average patient income for the specialty receives the average
. Bonuses are often pegged to the amount of income generated above
the average.
The average physician salary for an internist (see Internal
Medicine Salary) can be used as a benchmark for comparison
with other medical specialities.

jobs and nursing
