Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

The Good Shepherd endocrinology APP position offers a flat compensation structure with a $187,000 to $228,000 base depending on experience, plus a $50,000 county residency stipend, for total annual guaranteed compensation between $237,000 and $278,000. The schedule is predictable at 32 patient-facing hours per week with no call. Compared to 2025 MGMA Western region benchmarks for Endocrinology NPs and PAs, base salary alone reaches or exceeds the 90th percentile, and total compensation sits above the 90th percentile across credential types. There is no production ramp because the structure is flat rather than production-based. The workload-to-compensation ratio is strong given the standard weekday schedule, defined patient volume, and absence of call or inpatient obligations.
