In this episode, we're joined by Kyle Claussen, a physician contract attorney. Are you a physician who's unsure of what your salary and benefits should be? You're not alone. In a society where compensation information is often kept private, it can be difficult to know what you're worth. But having access to accurate and up-to-date compensation data is crucial when negotiating your employment contract. We will discuss the importance of knowing your market value and the best sources to access physician compensation data. MGMA is widely regarded as the gold standard in physician compensation reports, but it's not the only option available. Kyle will also talk about other data sources that offer additional levels of separation and verification and how having access to high-quality data can give you the leverage you need in negotiations. So, join us as we dive into the world of physician compensation and contract negotiations. Learn how to make a strong case for a raise and negotiate a fair compensation package for your specialty and location. It's time to take control of your career and get what you deserve.
