Physician/Healthcare Executive Compensation Data
2007 Physician Compensation Survey, By the American Medical Group Association (AMGA)The 2007 AMGA Medical Group Compensation and Financial Survey is a nationally recognized compensation survey designed to assist various management levels in evaluating and comparing current physician compensation an productivity levels, trends, and relationships between compensation and productivity. The report and its data can assist in making compensation-related decisions for a medical group’s physicians, non-physician medical staff, and select administrative positions.
This report can also be used in various ways to identify trends and measure a medical group’s own compensation and productivity as compared to other medical groups throughout the nation. We believe the data is representative of large multi-specialty group practices.
