Physician jobs and staffing
Physician salary information is most commonly used to set pay
rates when physicians change jobs. A variety of methods are used
to establish medical pay rates. For example, if an psychiatrist
is joining a new practice, annual pay scales may be set according
to the national average for psychiatrists. Bonuses might then be
paid based on the individual psychiatrist's income to the practice
compared to the national average.
Alternatively, and this is most likely the case in locum tenens
positions, physician salaries might be set according to the national
average for medical specialty, scaled by the local cost-of-living
index.We've put together salary survey results as general resource
for physicians.
