The 2024 Review of Physician and Advanced Practitioner Recruiting Incentives highlights that the average relocation allowance for physicians stands at $11,284.
Why Relocation Matters
For physicians, relocating to a new area can be both exciting and daunting. A well-structured relocation package alleviates the stress associated with moving, making it easier for physicians to settle into their new roles. By supporting physicians through this transition, healthcare facilities demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their staff, enhancing job satisfaction and loyalty.
CME Benefits for Professional Growth

The 2024 Review of Physician and Advanced Practitioner Recruiting Incentives states that the average CME allowance for physicians is $3,969, reflecting the investment needed to support ongoing education.
Enhancing Retention through CME Benefits
Offering CME benefits underscores a healthcare facility's commitment to the professional growth of its physicians.
