The Good Shepherd adult psychiatry position offers a flat compensation structure with a $360,000 to $460,000 salary range, with flexibility in how base versus productivity is weighted based on candidate preference. Compared to 2025 MGMA Western region benchmarks for General Psychiatry, the low end sits between the 10th* and 25th* percentile and the high end reaches the Western median. The schedule is primarily outpatient with scheduled ED consultation, no inpatient admit coverage, and a hybrid telepsychiatry option. A standout feature of the package is fully covered insurance premiums for the physician and dependents, which increases the effective value of the compensation compared to typical employed packages. There is no ramp because compensation is fixed rather than production-based. The workload-to-compensation ratio is reasonable given the defined consult volume, absence of inpatient admit responsibility, and hybrid flexibility.
