ER Docs tend to think of their hourly rate in a very matter-of-fact way. Oh, it says “$225/hr in my contract,” for instance. But this is a very literal sense of “hourly rate” and actually doesn’t account for important variables, both financial and non.

So in this episode, we highlight all the additional factors that we think go into determining a true hourly rate for ER Docs and why it’s important to know your score. You may be making more (or less) than you thought you were.
