title: The ups and downs of managing employed physicians.
abstract: The number of employed physicians is growing, posing new challenges to physician executives. Managing employed physicians begins during the hiring process. Once the new physician is on board, an organization should appoint a mentor to help the new employee adjust. Compensation remains a consistent challenge in most organizations with employed physicians. One of the most popular compensation models involves a market-based salary with the opportunity for a performance bonus.
