I know hiring a urologist is harder than capturing Bigfoot but here goes so please bear with me. I wanted to some feed back on hiring a urologist for a "hypothetical" hospital based practice. A small rural hospital that has a visiting urologist that comes once sometimes every other week (depends on her mood) and has one surgery day per month. Mostly stones, TURPS, bladder tumors etc. Has the occasional prostatectomy. No Davinci robot here. Anyways this urologist is probably going to be moving on as she covers several different areas with her group she is paid very well >$400k. her clinic days can be busy seeing upwards of 50-70 patients. but again that is once a week and occasionally every other week. Her surgical schedule is about 8-15 cases per month and she gets at least 2 OR hours to bounce patients and she is quick with her cases was hired by a previous CEO who has since been told to pound sand as he did a lot of ridiculous things that hurt our facility financially. That is just some background on what we currently have. Can you tell me what type of pay would be fair for a position at our facility on a full time basis. Small rural hospital about 2 hours from a major airport and 1-1.5 from a regional airport. Cost of living is fairly cheap with a lot of nice lake front housing/ land available. No call no weekends no holidays, could be a 4-day workweek or 5 day workweek as we would be very flexible. W2 employee vacation negotiable, 401k and 403b retirement plans. is $350k plus production bonus way too low would it need to be closer to $400-$450k plus production? Am I even in the ball park? Any insight would be helpful. If the person wanted to independent there are multiple hospitals in the region and could make a very nice comfortable living working as much or as little as they wanted.
Thanks
