Does anyone in the know (PathOne, LA doc, other) know if there are pathology positions in academic medical centers where salaries are structured as base salary plus productivity bonus?
Example: Lets say a superstar-GU/GIsubspecialty-pathologist wants to join a university based department of pathology that has a small volume of specimens in her particular subspecialty. However, she is such a big-name that private clinicians from local/regional outpatient clinics (unaffiliated with said university) are interested in submitting material to the department to be read by her. The department chair is smart, and realizes that he can recruit her by offering, among other things, a base salary, plus X% of what she bills on material coming from these clinics.
What about consults? Lets say Mr. or Ms. Soft Tissue Pathologist receives untold numbers of personal consults. Do these people get to keep all they bill on the consults, get just a percentage, or does it all go to the Department?
Just curious.
