Know Your Worth: Real Salary Data for Physicians, Residents, and Fellows
Are you being paid what you deserve? For physicians at every stage of their career, answering that question has never been easier. PracticeMatch members now have access to HealthSalaries.com, a real-time salary platform built to help physicians benchmark their compensation, negotiate with confidence, and take control of their career.
Why Physician Salary Data Matters More Than Ever
- Physician pay expectations are shifting, and competition is rising.
- Salaries vary widely by specialty, with primary care physicians and surgical subspecialists sitting at opposite ends of a broad spectrum.
- Geographic location, practice setting, and employment model all play a significant role in determining total compensation, and the difference between a well-negotiated contract and an uninformed one can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a career.
- But without access to real, verified data from physicians in your specialty and market, it's nearly impossible to know whether an offer is competitive or whether you're leaving significant money on the table.

Built for Every Stage of Your Physician Care
Physician compensation is rarely straightforward, and the stakes are high at every career milestone.
Residents and fellows preparing to sign their first employment contract can access real salary data for their specialty and target market so they can enter negotiations informed and avoid underselling themselves at the most financially consequential moment of their early career.
Early-career attendings can benchmark their current compensation against peers in similar roles, settings, and geographies to understand whether their salary reflects true market value and build a confident case if it doesn't.
Experienced physicians looking to renegotiate or explore new opportunities can use current market data to set realistic expectations, identify high-value markets, and approach contract conversations from a position of strength.
Compensation is About More Than Base Salary
Physician compensation packages are multifaceted and base salary is only one piece of the picture. Productivity bonuses, RVU-based incentives, call pay, quality bonuses, signing bonuses, loan repayment, and benefits can all significantly affect total compensation. The difference between employed and private practice models alone can mean tens of thousands of dollars annually, depending on specialty and market.
HealthSalaries.com helps you see the full compensation landscape so you can evaluate every element of an offer, not just the headline number, and negotiate a package that truly reflects your value.
Your next contract negotiation starts with knowing your worth.
