Compensation Survey Seeks Data to Inform Contract Negotiations

November 10, 2026

Employers come to the negotiation table armed with compensation data, and surgeons should do the same. That’s why from now until December 14, the ACS is hosting a compensation survey to help members provide each other with salary data, signing bonuses, productivity numbers, and more for each surgical subspecialty.

Administered by Resolve, the survey lets you share your contract terms anonymously and, in return, unlocks a dashboard built around your specialty and your contract.

The dashboard will include a full, term-by-term comparison of your contract with the data submitted by other members, so you can compare your terms. Update or add contracts at any time to contribute further to the data pool and compare the terms of those agreements as well.

Resolve administers the survey on behalf of the ACS, and every submission is de-identified on receipt and reported only in aggregate. It is never linked to your membership record, never shared with an employer or recruiter, and never sold.

Survey respondents will also be entered to win an attorney-led contract review from Resolve.
