Compensation
I am currently an internist/hospitalist at a community medical center, with ties to a university medical school., and listed as an assistant professor. But I'm really just a hospitalist, employed by the hospital, who has medical students on his service once in a while. My goal is to transition to a more academic position, such as faculty member of a residency program.
If I go to a community residency vs. a university residency program, what can I expect for reasonable compensation? Are they comparable? How is rank determined? Would I move to associate professor at a university program? Do most places offer the basics, such as moving expenses and sign-on bonuses?
Thanks in advance. |

lots of possibilities- faculty rank
If your appointment was granted by the university affiliate, you stand a good chance of being at the same rank when you move to a university-based residency program as faculty. Your promotion to the next level will depend on several factors: who grants the priviledges at the new place, publications, leadership roles, national recognitions, teaching experience, etc. Some places will have both academic research faculty and clinical teaching faculty that are open to physician faculty. Others will only offer clinical faculty positions to physician faculty. Ultimately, each system have their own criteria.
