Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

A Financial Package That Honors Your Expertise and Supports Your Lifestyle

Good Shepherd Medical Center offers a compensation package designed to reward your clinical skill, productivity, and long-term commitment. With a base salary of $700,000 and a transparent wRVU-based incentive model, your earnings can easily surpass national benchmarks. You’ll earn $105 per RVU after a monthly threshold of 700, allowing you to scale your income in alignment with the care you provide. Physicians producing at the 75th percentile stand to earn $87,000 more than the current MGMA median.

You’ll also benefit from a comprehensive benefits package that prioritizes personal wellbeing and financial security. The system offers 256 hours (six weeks) of paid time off, plus 40 hours of dedicated CME time and a $3,000 CME allowance. A robust 403(b) retirement plan includes a 4% employer contribution and an additional 50% match on employee contributions up to 4%, with optional 457 and 401(k) plans available to supplement your savings.

Relocation support is provided through a third-party service that manages and directly bills moving expenses, easing the logistics of your transition. A $25,000 sign-on bonus and an additional $25,000 in student loan repayment (paid directly to your lender) demonstrate the hospital’s investment in your long-term success.

Malpractice insurance is occurrence-based, providing peace of mind without the burden of purchasing tail coverage—though if the hospital ever switches to claims-made, they’ve committed to covering your tail.
