Navy Physicians' Pay Distributions Compared to Civilian Income

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA243390 | Open PDF

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been concern over the size of the gap between pay for civilian physicians and pay for military physicians, and over the declining retention observed for Navy physicians. Effort have been made to increase physicians military pay and retention. This research memorandum derives actual pay distributions for 22 physician specialties and documents the size of the civilian-military pay gap for three experience levels within each specialty. The pay gaps are linked to acceptance patterns of the 1989 medical officer retention bonus. The large variation in pay gap size by specialty and experience level should enable future pay plans to address specific problems.
