Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

A Comprehensive Package Designed for Professional Success and Personal Security

Your compensation package at Pomerene Hospital reflects the organization's commitment to attracting and retaining exceptional family medicine physicians while providing the financial security and professional support that allows you to focus on excellent patient care. The base salary of $280,000 positions you competitively within the family medicine market while offering additional earning potential through performance incentives and supervisory stipends. This financial foundation, combined with comprehensive benefits and unique perquisites, creates a total compensation package that supports both your professional goals and personal well-being.

The three-year contract structure provides stability and predictability while allowing both you and the organization to build a long-term professional relationship. Unlike many healthcare positions where compensation structures create pressure for unsustainable productivity, this package balances competitive base compensation with achievable performance metrics that reward quality care and patient satisfaction rather than volume alone.

Incentive Structure

Your salary is enhanced by a unique supervisory stipend of $200 per month for each advanced practice provider under your supervision – currently totaling $800 monthly for four mid-level providers, with potential for growth as the practice expands.

The performance bonus structure rewards excellence across multiple dimensions with up to 10% additional compensation based on RVU productivity, patient satisfaction scores, and achievable quality metrics including MIPS and CPC measures. These quality indicators focus on fundamental family medicine practices such as diabetes screening, hypertension management, depression screening, falls assessment, and medication documentation – metrics that align with excellent patient care rather than creating administrative burden.

  • Competitive base salary: $280,000 annually (flexible based on experience level)
  • Supervisory compensation: $200 monthly per supervised APP (currently $800/month for four providers)
  • Performance bonus potential: Up to 10% of base salary for combined productivity and quality metrics
  • Achievable quality measures: MIPS and CPC standards focusing on routine family medicine excellence
  • Three-year contract structure: Providing stability and predictable income progression

Comprehensive Benefits Package

Your benefits package extends well beyond traditional healthcare and retirement offerings to include unique advantages that recognize the realities of physician practice and family life. The six weeks of combined paid time off provides genuine work-life balance, while the housing assistance program demonstrates the organization's commitment to your successful transition to the community.

Health, dental, and vision insurance begin the first of the month after your start date, eliminating coverage gaps during your transition. The retirement package and malpractice coverage with tail insurance provide long-term financial security, while the CME allowance supports your ongoing professional development and board certification requirements.

  • Comprehensive PTO: Six weeks annually combining vacation, holidays, and sick leave
  • Complete insurance coverage: Medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits starting first of month after hire
  • Malpractice protection: Full coverage including tail insurance for complete liability protection
  • Professional development: Five days CME time plus $3,000 annual education allowance
  • Licensing support: Separate payment for medical licenses, board certifications, and professional dues

Unique Practice Advantages

Several distinctive benefits set this opportunity apart from typical physician employment arrangements. The no moonlighting restriction policy allows you to pursue additional income opportunities if desired, while the visa sponsorship availability demonstrates the organization's commitment to recruiting exceptional physicians regardless of citizenship status.

The housing assistance program represents a particularly valuable benefit, with the hospital providing housing for at least one year while you establish yourself in the community. This eliminates the stress of finding housing in an unfamiliar area while allowing you to explore neighborhoods and housing options without pressure. The program accommodates families of all sizes and welcomes pets, recognizing that successful physician recruitment involves supporting the entire family unit.

  • Housing assistance: Hospital-provided housing for minimum one year (utilities covered by physician)
  • Family-friendly housing: Accommodates larger families and welcomes pets
  • Flexible moonlighting: No restrictions on additional income opportunities
  • International physician support: Visa sponsorship available for qualified candidates
  • Residency transition support: Monthly stipend available for physicians completing residency (in lieu of signing bonus)

Financial Security and Professional Growth

The compensation structure recognizes that financial security allows physicians to focus on patient care excellence rather than income generation pressures. The negotiable signing bonus provides immediate financial support for relocation and practice establishment, while the performance bonus structure creates earning potential that grows with your clinical success and patient outcomes.

The supervisory stipend structure not only provides additional income but also creates opportunities for leadership development and practice management experience. As the practice continues to grow and add mid-level providers, your supervisory compensation will increase proportionally, creating a pathway for enhanced earning potential aligned with practice expansion.

  • Immediate support: Negotiable signing bonus to assist with relocation and practice establishment
  • Growth potential: Supervisory compensation increases with practice expansion
  • No income caps: Performance bonus potential scales with clinical excellence and patient satisfaction
  • Professional development investment: Substantial CME support for career advancement
  • Long-term security: Comprehensive malpractice coverage including tail protection

This compensation and benefits package reflects Pomerene Hospital's understanding that exceptional patient care flows from physicians who feel valued, supported, and financially secure. The combination of competitive base compensation, performance incentives, comprehensive benefits, and unique advantages creates a foundation for both professional success and personal satisfaction in your family medicine practice.
