* Merritt Hawkins’ numbers are distinct from those of other organizations in that MH tracks average salary or income guarantee offers made to physicians being recruited by hospitals, medical groups and other organizations, rather than total gross income as it appears on a physicians’ tax return. MH's numbers therefore are indicative of starting salaries. Merritt Hawkins’ numbers include only the salary or income guarantee amount and are not inclusive of production bonuses or benefits.
