WBI benchmarks all physician compensation against MGMA data, and the package for this role lands near the 75th percentile for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in the rural Western United States. Beyond the base salary, there are real opportunities to increase total earnings through call coverage and consulting contracts with the local hospital.

That detail is worth pausing on. A Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist earning $380,000 in a state with a 5% income tax pays roughly $19,000 per year to the state. In Wyoming, that money stays in your pocket every year, on top of a cost of living that is already well below most Western metros.
