The most common reason physicians reject an offer from a prospective employer is because of a low compensation rate, according to a report on what physicians value at work published by healthcare talent firm Adfire Health.
The report surveyed 112 physicians across 30 specialty areas on the factors that matter most to them when seeking employment.
Here are the four main reasons physicians reject potential employers and the percentage of respondents who would turn down a job for that reason:
1. Pay rate/salary is too low: 38.4%
2. Lacking paid time off: 26.8%
3. Location: 21.4%
4. Accreditation: 8%
