Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

This position offers a stable, faculty-based compensation structure suited to an academic primary care role. Rather than tying pay to production volume, the model provides a perpetual base salary with additional incentives and a strong benefits package through the University of Rochester.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is structured as an academic faculty appointment. The base salary is perpetual: it does not expire and is not dependent on a provider's historical or ongoing production volume. Final salary is set by rank and experience and aligned with the university's internal academic compensation and promotion pathways.

Malpractice Coverage

• Occurrence-based coverage provided as faculty within the academic program
• No tail coverage required, given the occurrence policy

• Retirement plan
• Paid time off
• Continuing medical education support
• Access to a dedicated employee pharmacy, offering prescription discounts, home delivery, and secure locker pickup for those on the university insurance plan

Additional Compensation

• $10,000 sign-on bonus, fully repayable if you leave before the commitment period
• $150,000 in student loan repayment, forgiven over 4 years
