About
the Survey...
Daniel Stern and Associates is pleased to present the results of its 24th annual National Emergency Medicine Compensation & Benefit Survey. 1,009 physicians participated in the 2009 national survey, responding from 50 states and the District of Columbia. The data reported in this survey is reflective of compensation received by respondents during calendar year 2008.
Later this year, we will be publishing a separate Emergency Medicine Academic Compensation & Benefit Survey with the information collected from academic physicians. This survey is online until July 31, 2009.
The link below will take you directly to the academic survey.

We also conducted a mini satisfaction survey in conjunction with the 2009 salary survey again this year, 667 physicians (58%) of the physicians who participated in the compensation survey also chose to participate in this mini survey, which is titled, Trends, Perceptions and Predictions in Emergency Medicine. All physicians who participated in this mini survey will receive a free copy of the results. It is clear that the voluntary supplemental survey struck a nerve among the participants. Both the response rate of 667 physicians who participated (58%) and the length and depth of their responses, attest to the level of dissatisfaction and genuine frustration among Emergency Medicine physicians today.
All survey reports compiled with the data from this year’s survey are now available on our website: 2009 National Report, five regional reports (North Central Report, Northeast Report, South Central Report, Southeast Report, West Report) as well as the results of the mini satisfaction survey - Trends, Predictions and Perceptions of Emergency Medicine Physicians. Individual state reports are available for any state that had sufficient participation as well as reports customized to your specific needs.
We are able to provide you with data specific to your state/ region or customized to group various states together for a more focused analysis. We can also provide you with a customized report based on various parameters – size of hospital, ED volume, physician training and/or certification, employment status, trauma designation, number of annual contractual hours required, patients seen per hour, etc. Please consult our website www.danielstern.com or contact us at 800-438-2476 or e-mail Daniel Stern directly at sternd@danielstern.com
