2009 AMGA Mid-Level Compensation Data

The 2009 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.
