title: Hidden expenses. The true cost of adding a physician to your medical group practice.
abstract: A new physician's salary is the most visible expense associated with recruitment, but it is not the only one. A practice should anticipate two other significant direct costs and two indirect costs when it prepares to add professional staff. A physician recruitment financial model describes the true expenses that come with recruiting and prioritizes them for planning.
