Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

Compensation That Reflects Your Value

The financial package for this position acknowledges that physicians deserve to be paid well without sacrificing their personal lives to earn it. Your base salary of approximately $300,000 reflects market-competitive compensation for family medicine, enhanced by a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance to ease your transition.

What makes this compensation particularly attractive is what you are not giving up to earn it. There is no call stipend because there is no call. There is no productivity bonus tied to seeing 30 patients a day because the model does not ask that of you. Your $300,000 comes with predictable hours, protected time off, and the ability to leave work at work.

• Base salary approximately $300,000
• Sign-on bonus provided
• Relocation assistance available
