mmiller3 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I am in Illinois (for reference), and was contacted by a recruiter for a FT EM position. I don't have any real time in the ER besides my school rotations, but I did a lot of suturing and splinting, I&Ds, etc at a previous walk-in clinic. I have been doing family medicine for about 10 years. The position is advertising $60/hour, more with experience. 12 hour and 8 hour shifts, with the 8 hour shifts being from 6 pm to 2 am. $60/hour seems low, especially since I can make this in family medicine, but I am interested in getting into EM. Any thoughts as to how fair this is, or what to ask/look for? Appreciate any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnelson Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 That works out to about 120k/year, so, lower end for EM salary, but, the overall picture may be better based on benefits as well. If this is not a benefited position, then this is an awful offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralER/Ortho Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Consider local conditions as well.... I'm not from there, but I feel like I typically hear of IL being on the lower end salary-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiller3 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I appreciate the replies. I am supposed to speak with the recruiter tonight; I will see what the full offer/position is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 1, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2017 Also many positions in em now are base salary + production, which can run $10-25/hr. in my neck of the woods the range with benefits is $55-85/hr depending on experience, volume, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc56 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Chicago-land area (suburbs) rate is $65 an hour with an RVU bonus. They also are offering a 10% 401K (given not matched). Other benefits too, but those are the big numbers. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightbearer06 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Does anyone know of any good data for EM PAs regarding salary? I keep hearing from our group that we are at the top 10% range for EM PAs making around 125k, but I haven't really been able to find much to dispute this. This is the excuse for not having yearly raises, etc. SEMPA doesn't have anything I could find past around 2010, and AAPA data was not really helpful either.

roger777 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have two new grad offers ranging from mid to high 50s with expected shift mixes, both in low COL areas (Higher one has high SIT though). Just shooting from the hip I would say for your background at least 20% over that would be fair, so 65-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliotsbay44 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 In semi rural Virginia with 1.5 year exp. I earn 93k salary + 4.5k annual bonus. 1.5k CME. No production/RVU. +$100 per shift for any nights (avg 4-6). Given 10% 401k. 50% of Health Ins. I work 150hrs a month (15 * 10h). Avg 17-25 pts per shift of low to mid acuity. Not much teaching. No PTO. With the bonus but before 401k and Health this is 54 an hour. (I often stay over though between 30-90mins bringing the rate down some for sure). After reading here feel as though this may be on the low/mid end of acceptable. Just wish there was a little more learning but generally everyone is too busy. Hope this helps.

SoCal_PA Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'm in Los Angeles. I'm in my first year out of school and I'm making $64/hr plus good benefits. I never work overnights. I just got another offer which I refused in Los Angeles for $65/hr plus benefits and an added $15-25/hr for nights and/or weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
