Different work settings have different models that determine salary. In medicine, other than getting a set salary, it can be dependent on productivity measured in relative value units (RVUs) or payments. This session will help attendees understand these differences, and with examples, can show them how to interpret these productivity reports.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the different salary models available.
  • Compare the productivity models — payments based versus RVUs.
  • Consider how these different salary models can affect promotion and bonuses.
