Retirement That Outpaces the Market

The retirement benefits deserve special attention because they significantly exceed typical employer contributions. An automatic 3 percent employee contribution is matched by 6 percent employer funding, creating a 9 percent total retirement contribution before any personal additions, subject to the plan's seven-year vesting schedule. Combined with the optional 457(b) plan, you could defer up to $50,000 annually into tax-advantaged retirement accounts, a benefit particularly valuable for high-earning physicians focused on tax planning.

Health Coverage and Everyday Savings

Health insurance features low deductibles, just $700 annually for individuals and $1,100 for families when using local providers. This structure saves you money and encourages you to build relationships with local physicians for your own care.

The employee pharmacy benefit provides prescription medications at substantially reduced costs compared to retail pharmacies, a meaningful savings for physicians with chronic conditions or family medication needs. Combined with the low-deductible health insurance, this can generate thousands of dollars in annual healthcare savings.

Benefits Built Around You

Additional benefits reflect the organization's understanding of physician needs and family priorities. Student loan assistance programs are available for those with educational debt, and the cafeteria-style benefits approach allows customization based on your specific circumstances.

Time Away From Work

The 7 on / 7 off schedule gives you 26 weeks off every year before any PTO is counted. On top of that rhythm you receive 3 weeks of PTO annually and 1 dedicated CME week, giving you protected time for rest, travel, and professional development within a schedule that already builds recovery into every month.
