I have question regarding an employment contract I just received. First off I am an anesthesiologist and am currently completing a fellowship in pain medicine at the same institution I completed my residency. I am familiar with the MGMA data published every year, however I am confused by the different designations given to pain medicine. Should I be looking at the data provided for anesthesiology: pain medicine or just pain medicine? The position offered is strickly 100% pain. The employer has pegged all the compensation numbers to the Pain Medicine category (median salary, wRVU value). I feel you could argue that Pain Medicine catagory probably includes PMR, neurology, Psych, Fam Med, and some that may not do a significant amount interventions. I may be wrong about all of this but it would be nice to get some input from you guys. Thanks!
