2012 Physician Compensation Survey Data
Here's the full data for the Physicians Practice 2012 Physician Compensation Survey, based on more than 1,300 respondents.
It seems more physicians are experiencing longer work weeks - in 2011, 6 percent of respondents said they worked more than 75 hours; this year that number is nearly up 2 percentage points.
INCOME DROP: 38 percent of respondents said their income was "about the same," dropping from 43 percent in our 2011 survey. Unfortunately, that 5 percent went to the "down by more" replies in 2012.
GROWING DISAPPOINTMENT: 54 percent of respondents called their practice's net income "disappointing," up 5 percent from 2011.
RISING RETIREMENT: In our 2011 survey, 9 percent of physician respondents said they plan to retire in the next five years. That number grew to 12 percent in this year's survey.
