ACS members have access to a recently updated dashboard that helps surgeons benchmark their compensation numbers and compare employment contracts.
Resolve, an ACS member benefits provider, reviews and negotiates surgeon contracts, but also provides comprehensive contract data so that surgeons know what compensation and other terms are fair for any given subspecialty and location.
An example of the Resolve dashboard contract overview
With the latest dashboard updates, surgeons can upload any new or existing contract to see how its terms compare to market data. The dashboard provides instant feedback on problematic employment terms or below average salaries and production numbers.
Surgeons can also look beyond compensation at malpractice tail coverage, non-compete clauses, and other benefits. Data are displayed in detailed charts that allow for easy visualization of career progress and areas of a contract that may need improvement.
An example of compensation distribution visualization
Users with multiple job offers or who are comparing a new offer to their current contract can upload each agreement to the dashboard and compare terms side-by-side.
Experienced surgeons, in practice for years, or those just starting out as attendings, are encouraged to use the Resolve dashboard to provide an understanding of fair market value and how any employment contract stacks up.
