Critical Care Medicine — Physician Career Context
Of the 40 active Physician listings this role was benchmarked against, 5% are remote, 85% have no call, 57% require no weekends.
Physician pay on WeekdayDoc is up 1.7% vs. the prior quarter (through Sep 2026).
For production-based offers, this specialty runs a typical 5,000 wRVUs per year (derived from CMS CPT-frequency data), and WeekdayDoc listings compensate a median of about $50 per wRVU — implying roughly $250k in production-based pay. For reference, the 2026 CMS Medicare conversion factor is $33.40 per RVU.
