The MGMA pay data is valuable information we can leverage to not just get paid better. It can also allow us to advocate changes that keep us in medicine as a whole. This is especially critical now as we deal with a physician shortage, doubled with the retirement of many doctors. 

 

With these pressures, paying you what you’re worth is a top priority for our employers and we can use this to our advantage. Ultimately: we’ve made a lot of progress, but there’s still a lot of work to do. 

 

In this episode, we pick up from where we left off last week - going through the 2023 physician pay data.
