Data on academic hospitalist compensation comes from MGMA’s 2011 Academic Practice Compensation and Production Module and the State of Hospital Medicine: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data. The median compensation for community hospitals falls at $215,000 annually, with the median number of work RVUs at 4,107 per hospitalist per year. The national median productivity for all academic faculty is 3,365 RVUs, according to the report.

According to the report, capturing productivity for academicians is difficult, as they may pursue tasks such as mentorship that are difficult to quantify in work RVUs.
