Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

A Compensation Philosophy That Values Your Worth

In an era when many health systems squeeze physician compensation while demanding ever-increasing productivity, Baylor Scott & White takes a refreshingly different approach. Your compensation package reflects not just market competitiveness but a genuine understanding of what it takes to attract and retain exceptional OB/GYN physicians in today's environment. The structure balances financial security with performance incentives, ensuring you're rewarded fairly for both your baseline excellence and your additional efforts to grow the practice.

Transparent Performance-Based Model

The compensation structure follows Baylor Scott & White's established system-wide model, providing consistency and transparency across the network while recognizing the unique demands of OB/GYN practice. Built on a work RVU productivity framework, the model ensures that your clinical effort translates directly into compensation. Unlike some practices that pool delivery RVUs – diluting individual productivity – this practice maintains individual credit for your obstetric work, meaning those middle-of-the-night deliveries and complex surgical cases directly benefit your bottom line.

  • Competitive base guarantee aligned with MGMA benchmarks for your experience level
  • Work RVU productivity model with transparent tracking through Epic
  • Individual delivery RVU credit ensuring your obstetric efforts benefit you directly
  • Clear productivity thresholds with achievable targets based on current patient demand
  • Quality incentive opportunities rewarding excellent patient outcomes and satisfaction
  • Optional additional call coverage for those seeking to maximize income potential

Strategic Sign-On Investment

Understanding that relocating for the right opportunity involves both financial and personal investment, the practice offers a sign-on bonus structured as 10% of your annual guarantee. This forgivable loan over 24 months demonstrates the organization's commitment to your long-term success while providing immediate financial flexibility for your transition.

Comprehensive Benefits Architecture

The benefits package mirrors Baylor Scott & White's system-wide offerings, providing the security and options you'd expect from one of Texas's largest and most stable healthcare systems. This isn't a bare-bones package – it's a comprehensive suite of benefits that supports both your personal wellbeing and professional success.

  • Multiple health insurance options including PPO and high-deductible plans with HSA contributions
  • Dental and vision coverage for you and your family
  • Occurrence-based malpractice insurance eliminating tail coverage concerns
  • 403(b) retirement plan with competitive matching and vesting schedules
  • Life and disability insurance to protect your financial future
  • Flexible spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care

Professional Development Investment

Your continued growth as a physician is financially supported. From CME allowances to licensing and membership coverage, this organization understands that investing in your development improves both patient care and provider satisfaction.

  • Annual CME allowance supporting conference attendance and educational materials
  • Paid CME time separate from your PTO
  • Professional licensure coverage including Texas medical license and DEA
  • ACOG and society membership dues fully covered
  • Board certification fees for initial and maintenance certification
  • Access to online learning platforms and medical journals through the system

Time Away That Restores

Sustainable OB/GYN practice requires genuine rest and renewal. The PTO structure offers the kind of flexibility and protection that respects your life outside of medicine, while the post-call recovery policy reflects a realistic view of what it means to be on call.

  • Competitive PTO allocation with increases over time
  • Separate sick leave ensuring illness doesn't reduce vacation time
  • Post-call day off following overnight call responsibilities
  • Fair holiday rotation shared equitably among providers
  • Parental leave options supporting family life integration
  • Sabbatical opportunities for senior physicians

Relocation Support

Relocating is a major life event, and the hospital provides financial assistance and logistical support to make your move as smooth as possible. Whether across the country or across the state, you'll receive help settling into your new Central Texas home.

Long-Term Wealth Building

The financial structure here supports more than just today’s income—it enables long-term financial security. With a stable commercial payer base, expanding patient population, and opportunities to grow with the practice, your income potential will grow over time. Retirement contributions, productivity incentives, and comprehensive benefits all align to help you build lasting wealth.

This package goes beyond compensation—it is a comprehensive system of support that rewards your expertise, respects your time, and enables the kind of fulfilling career that keeps excellent OB/GYNs thriving in community practice for decades.
