According to the survey, the majority of participants reported median annualized compensation levels of less than or equal to $50,000. Only four specialties reported annualized compensation of more than $50,000.
Compensation also varied by practice ownership. For example, radiologists and neurologists reported greater annualized compensation in not-hospital-owned practices, and family practitioners with and without obstetrics reported greater annualized compensation in hospital-owned practices. Most medical directors spent four to six hours per week on directorship duties, which included developing policies and procedures, attending meetings, clinical peer review, community relations and strategic development.
