Healthcare Salary & Work-Life Trends

Explore clinician salary benchmarks and listing-based work-life scores—not licensed MGMA survey data. The default chart is public; filters and standard Market Insights are free with verified sign-in.

Start with a relevant profession. The default view pools different roles and is not a benchmark for an individual offer. Charts can include interpolated months and modeled score bands; a continuous line does not establish a measured change in pay or wellbeing.

Understand the data before comparing an offer

Job postings describe advertised opportunities. Compensation surveys describe their own respondent samples and reporting periods. Neither should be treated as the terms of your specific offer.

Measures, samples and limitations
MeasureHow to interpret it
Salary median and bandAvailable advertised pay summaries for the selected cohort. The plotted band is p25–p75, not a guaranteed range for an individual role.
Work-life scoreAn average 0–10 listing-based score; higher scores indicate more favorable modeled signals. It is not the percentage of clinicians experiencing burnout.
Monthly historyStarts in January 2026. The service may interpolate missing months and supply fallback score bands. A plotted value is not necessarily an observed monthly sample.
Listing countsSummary counts are unavailable until data loads. Counts are not the number of disclosed salaries or unique clinicians. Cohort mix and coverage vary.

The public specialty table below is a separate, server-rendered snapshot. Its sample months can differ by specialty, and it does not change with these filters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Market Pulse measure?

Market Pulse summarizes salary fields and work-life scores from healthcare job listings. It is not licensed MGMA survey data and does not measure accepted offers or verified take-home pay. The all-professions view combines different roles, so select a relevant profession before comparing an offer.

How should I read the trend chart?

Compensation shows the median and available p25–p75 band. Work-life shows an average 0–10 listing score and a displayed comparison band, not observed clinician burnout prevalence. The current trend service can interpolate missing months and use fallback score bands; a continuous line is not proof of observations in every month.

Can I use these figures in a salary negotiation?

Use them to prepare questions, not as a guaranteed compensation target. Check the role, location, pay period, hours and what the advertised compensation includes. Overall medians can move when the mix of listed jobs changes, even without a change in pay for a particular role.

Is Market Pulse free, and do I need to sign in?

The default chart and public benchmark table are free to view. Changing filters and opening standard Market Insights require verified sign-in, with no membership fee. Email capture alone does not unlock these features.

Which filters are available?

Choose from the professions and specialties shown in the selectors. State filtering appears when the existing coverage rules are met. Available observations vary by cohort, and missing fields should not be interpreted as benefits or schedule terms that are not offered.

How current are these figures?

The chart uses monthly summaries starting in January 2026. Individual job cards show posting age where available. The public specialty table identifies the month and salary sample behind each median; it is a separate snapshot and does not change with the chart filters.

Clinician Salary Benchmarks by Specialty

Advertised salary medians from the available listing summaries through September 2026. Each specialty uses its latest qualifying month with at least five salary observations and 30 listing observations across the available window. This public table is separate from the chart filters; it is not a salary survey or a promise of current offer terms.
