| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE ABS USES THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES (AAMC) "REPORT ON MEDICAL SCHOOL FACULTY SALARIES" AS THE STANDARD FOR DETERMINING APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION FOR PHYSICIAN EXECUTIVES, SINCE THIS IS THE LOCALE FROM WHICH SUCH INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO BE RECRUITED. THIS REPORT PROVIDES THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DATA AVAILABLE ON MEDICAL FACULTY SALARIES AND IS UPDATED AND REPUBLISHED YEARLY. THE DATA REFLECTS REPORTING FROM ALL 133 ACCREDITED MEDICAL SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES, AND FROM NEARLY 100,000 FACULTY MEMBERS. THE AAMC REPORT CATEGORIZES MEDICAL SCHOOL FACULTY SALARIES BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION, TYPE OF MEDICAL SCHOOL, ACADEMIC RANK, AND MEDICAL SPECIALTY. FOR COMPARATOR PURPOSES WE USE THE AVERAGE OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NORTHEASTERN MEDICAL SCHOOLS, FOR THE SPECIALTY OF GENERAL SURGERY. THE ACADEMIC RANK OF PROFESSOR IS CONSIDERED EQUIVALENT TO ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; DIVISION HEAD IS CONSIDERED EQUIVALENT TO ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIR IS CONSIDERED EQUIVALENT TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE MEDIAN AND MEAN FIGURES ARE AVERAGED FOR EACH POSITION. THESE FIGURES ARE COMPARED OVER FIVE OR MORE YEARS TO ESTABLISH AVERAGE RATES OF INCREASE PER YEAR. THE ABOVE DATA IS PREPARED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (ED) YEARLY AND IS PRESENTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AT THE JUNE ANNUAL MEETING IN TABULAR FORM WHICH ALLOWS COMPARISON AMONG ALL OF THE ABOVE VARIABLES. THE ED THEN RECUSES HIMSELF FROM THE ROOM AND THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSES THE DATA AND ARRIVES AT FINAL DECISIONS REGARDING THE COMPENSATION OF THE PHYSICIAN EXECUTIVES FOR THE SUCCEEDING YEAR. THE AAMC REPORT IS GENERALLY PUBLISHED IN JANUARY OF A GIVEN YEAR AND IS BASED ON SALARIES REPORTED FOR THE PRIOR ACADEMIC YEAR. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE BY ABS IS THEREFORE AT LEAST ONE YEAR BEHIND THE OBSERVED STANDARDS TO WHICH THEY ARE BEING COMPARED. | |
