Today's Hospitalist 2013 Hospitalist Compensation Report

Introduction

For the sixth year, Today's Hospitalist has conducted an in-depth survey of hospitalist compensation. Nearly 800 hospitalists responded to the 2013 Today's Hospitalist Compensation & Career Survey, providing information about everything from pay and productivity to their attitudes about their jobs and the specialty. This Compensation Report provides a look at hospitalist compensation from January to December 2012. Available separately is the full 2013 Compensation & Career Report, with an executive overview of the 2013 Compensation & Career Survey results, plus all of the raw data on hospitalist pay, group size, type of employer, size of hospital, respondents age and experience, and more in an Excel spreadsheet cross-tab report (figure 1).

Findings

Over the six years we've been conducting our survey, we've seen hospitalist pay rise very nicely, and this year is no different. Compensation for the specialty overall is up 9%, or roughly $16,000, over last year's numbers, bringing the mean paycheck for full-time hospitalists who treat adults to just over $251,000. But our survey found that hospitalists aren't entirely pleased about their pay. The reasons for this get at real issues affecting rank-and-file hospitalists. While hospitalists may be telling us they're unhappy with their pay, they may really be pointing to deeper issues like burnout and mission creep that threaten to drive good physicians from the specialty. Because those issues may eventually trump any annual raise in pay, the specialty should be concerned.
