How can I increase my emergency medicine salary?

Is Your Emergency Medicine Income Enough?

According to the 2008 Physician Compensation Survey conducted by Modern Healthcare, emergency physician salaries range from approximately $200,000 to $300,000. This may sound like a lot, but the salary for an emergency medicine physician job is not as high as the salaries of physicians in other specialties.

And, depending on where you are in your life and medical career, you may want to find ways to enhance your income. Are you trying to pay off medical school loans, save for a home, or put aside money for a child's education? A specialized physician staffing agency can help you increase your physician annual salary by identifying places where an ER physician salary is higher, or where you can find locum tenens work to supplement your income. And remember that an emergency locum tenens job doesn't always involve moving. A physician staffing consultant who knows the local hospitals can work with contacts at emergency departments in your area.
