Questions to ask the employer
- Is $261,955–$314,346 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
- The posted pay sits below what 172 Internal Medicine physicians report (national median $340,000) — what closes that gap: productivity upside, bonus, equity, or schedule?
- How is the productivity component calculated (wRVU rate, threshold, reconciliation cadence), and what did physicians here actually earn from it last year?
- What is the call schedule, and is call compensated separately or built into the base?
- How many weeks of PTO and CME time are included, and is unused time paid out?
