There are very few jurisdictions that have physicians with salary and benefits. Most are on a fee-for-service. Those that have alternative payments for academics, those physicians that also teach at the university, or in some areas specialized practice in some of the very large hospitals in Canada also don’t include benefits. So the comparison is difficult. For example, if you are in private practice fee-for-service, in some jurisdictions you may have support for electronic health records and not in other jurisdictions. It’s all massed in your compensation.

We can certainly give you the most updated of the ones we have, but to do a comparison is difficult because of the salary to benefit and how the different jurisdictions compensate their physicians. There are also several that it would be very dated because there’s about three, I think, currently in negotiations, but we can give you a breakdown of what fee-for-service in general doctors are making

per year. Again it depends where they’re working full time and whether you’re seeing 60 patients a day or 15 in a fee-for-service environment.
