What’s the going rate for your ER shift?
Corporate groups and recruiting agencies already know how much other EM physicians make. Shouldn’t you?
Information Asymmetry in Emergency Medicine
Employers have compensation data for entire markets. Physicians negotiate with a sample size of one. That imbalance costs you real money on every contract.
Lowball Offers Go Unchecked
CMGs and staffing agencies deliberately set rates below market value and pocket the difference. Without data, you can't tell if an offer is competitive or $50/hr below the going rate.
They See the Whole Board
Employers know exactly what hospitals pay to staff their ED. You only see what they decide to offer you.
Silence Benefits the Employer
Non-disclosure clauses and professional norms keep physicians from comparing rates. The less you know, the easier it is to underpay you.
