The Association of Staff Physician Recruiters, represening in-house recruiters in hospitals, physician practices, health plans, or similar organizations, and the MDLinx.com web site collaborated on a physician survey earlier this year focused on learning more about compensation models and recruitment incentives offered by their employers.
The survey yielded benchmarking data related to each of these areas:
- Incentives, including relocation assistance, signing bonuses, malpractice coverage assistance, requirment to stay in the position for a defined time period, and for residents/fellows, stipend incentives for their final year of training
- Compensation methodology, covering compensation model and the percent tied to quality measures, supervision of advanced practice providers, payment for on-call coverage, bonus eligibility, bonus structure, and satisfaction with the compensation model
- Benefits, such as coverage of professional fees, annual provision of CME activities, paid time off for CME, vacation, sick time, and holidays, and if domestic partner benefits are offered
- Contract, encompassing restrictive or non-compete agreement details
- Schedule, touching on schedule flexibility, what defines ‘full-time’, and time providedfor administrative activities
