Radiologists - Underpaid And Desperate
Following the release of the annual compensation survey from Martin, Fletcher, cries of woe were heard from darkened rooms across the land.
“How am I supposed to live on a lousy $8,000 dollars per week?” was one of the more temperate responses we got to the revelation that radiologists are only the second-highest paid specialty, averaging $425,000 per year.
“Those invasive cardiology bastards shouldn’t be number one” snarled another heartbroken radiologist, who wanted to remain anonymous while he sat on the beach in the Virgin Islands.
Radiology the second-highest paid specialty
Martin, Fletcher, a leading national healthcare recruiting and consultancy firm, released the results of both its annual physician compensation survey and combined nursing and allied health industry trends and benefits report today. Gathering data from more than 2,000 healthcare organizations across the nation that encompass more than 35 physician, nurse and allied health specialties, Martin, Fletcher’s studies have identified key compensation and benefits trends that point to elevated turnover rates at hospitals, and an exodus to group practices.
