Upcoming Physician Compensation Seminar

Written by Reed Tinsley, CPA | March 30, 2007

A good physician is worth the price

Physician practices like yours are struggling to attract and retain qualified doctors. During a physician shortage, top doctors have more job offers and increased leverage in determining compensation. In this competitive recruiting environment, it may be tempting to hire the first doctor willing to sign on. But doing so not only puts your practice at risk, it also undermines the quality of care your patients receive. However, a prolonged vacancy also hurts your bottom line and can drive patients to seek treatment elsewhere.

Join HealthLeaders Media April 10 for the live audioconference, Design a Compensation Package to Recruit Top Doctors.
