Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

The Good Shepherd endocrinology position offers a flat compensation structure with a $320,000 to $420,000 base depending on experience, plus a $50,000 county residency stipend, for total annual guaranteed compensation between $370,000 and $470,000. The schedule is protected at 32 patient-facing hours per week with no call. Compared to 2025 MGMA Western region benchmarks for Endocrinology / Metabolism, base salary sits at the 75th* percentile at the low end and above the 90th* percentile at the high end. Total compensation ranges from the 90th* percentile up through meaningfully above market. There is no ramp because compensation is flat rather than production-based. The workload-to-compensation ratio is strong given the standard weekday schedule, defined patient volume, and absence of call or inpatient obligations.
