How does your physician and APP compensation strategy compare to other academic medical centers?
Due to the tripartite mission of education, research, and patient care, academic medical centers (AMCs) face a number of unique challenges.
Amid intense competition for faculty physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs), many are looking to adopt a more strategic approach to compensation – requiring comprehensive, data-driven insight into pay levels, productivity, work effort allocation and more.
Utilize benchmarks from SullivanCotter’s 2023 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey – which features data from 78 medical schools on 76,000 academic physicians and 40,000 APPs – to help address the following questions:
Advancing Provider Compensation Programs: From Reactive to Scalable
