Questions to ask the employer

  • Is $237,078–$296,338 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
  • The posted pay sits below what 14 Internal Medicine physicians report (state median $350,000) — 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?
