Economics of Healthcare: Understanding Physician Compensation Webcast (2022)

Following a general introduction to the economics of clinical practice and various practice models (e.g. private group practice, academic and non-academic health system employment, and private equity funded), the specifics of various compensation arrangements, bonuses, benefits and other aspects of total compensation will be reviewed in detail. Indirect aspects of compensation models including topics such as call, funding and use of advanced practitioners in a practice, and expense structures will also be discussed.

The target audience includes residents, fellows, young urologists and established physicians considering future employment opportunities. This webcast may also be of interest to physician and non-physician managers of urologic practices.

  3. Determine how physicians can influence their own compensation within each practice model.
  4. Distinguish important aspects of employment agreements and discern what, when, and how to negotiate.
  5. Identify how to increase an individual’s influence within a group or employer by demonstrating value added and how to address general resource issues that affect productivity (e.g. advanced practitioners, centrally employed staff and equipment).
