Back to Episodes#427 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Are Neonatologists Being Fairly Compensated for the Work They Do? (ft. Dr. Robin Steinhorn)
Description
Dr. Robin Steinhorn, Professor and Vice Dean for Children’s Clinical Services at UC San Diego and President of Children’s Specialists of San Diego, tackles one of neonatology’s most uncomfortable conversations: compensation. She breaks down how to identify reliable benchmark data, explains why neonatologists are generating more RVUs than ever while pay has not kept pace with workload complexity, addresses gender discrepancy trends in the literature, and offers practical strategies for individuals and division chiefs to use rigorous national data when advocating for fair compensation at the institutional level.
