One Response to “2017–2018 Compensation Report for Emergency Physicians Shows Steady Salaries”
March 22, 2018
ZachCan someone elaborate on the way the hourly rates and annual salaries are calculated? I’m not sure how to compare my hourly rate to my state’s average; since I have RVUs, I simply took what I made last year and divided by number of hours worked last year. Is this correct? And is the $30,000 benefits package estimate simply added on to the annual number? What constitutes “basic benefits”? Malpractice and health? Dental?
