That varies. I was offered a chance to join our VA crew with salary close to $200,000, plus benefits.

actually surgery2do.... one job is for purely administrative with no OR vs. making money for the hospital in the OR... comparing apples and oranges... i bet the surgical chief of staff without OR activity is also paid at the same rate...

The other item to consider is that VA hosp. hours are often significantly less than normal hospitals. I have a friend who is an internist at a VA clinic...7-5, mon-fri, no call, no beeper, and no weekends. But he only makes 90k when he could make almost double in private practice.
