Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview
Compensation
CMC structures primary care compensation around a competitive base at the MGMA median with WRVU productivity incentives on top, so earnings scale with volume. Both roles share the same benefits package.

Notes and flags for review
- $425K+ positioning: Per your notes, the $425,000+ income potential is a marketing figure you set, anchored to current physicians earning $475,000–$500,000+. Base is $265,000–$285,000 with productivity on top. Confirm whether the report should state the $425K+ potential explicitly to candidates, or lead with base plus WRVU and reference current-physician earnings.
- Base range source: The $265K–$285K base comes from your notes and the FM presentation. The recruiter one-pagers say "competitive base salary (typically MGMA median)" without a number. Confirm whether to publish the dollar range or keep it as "MGMA median" in the candidate-facing version.
- SC AHEC grant: Applies to "qualifying sites" only. Confirm which of the Cypress Circle, Socastee, Postal Way, and Aynor locations qualify before promising this to a candidate.
- AHEC grant total: The FM presentation lists 24 PTO + 5 CME as "29 days total." Carried that through here.
