The
Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM) clinical group
1 and 2 faculty compensation policy and procedure herein is used as a
basis for setting clinical faculty salaries for college activities. It
is the intent of OU-COM to maintain a clinical faculty compensation plan
that is internally equitable and externally competitive with other
medical schools of similar size and location. Department Chairs, in
coordination with the Office of Pre-Doctoral Education, are responsible
to ensure that the academic schedule is met annually.
This compensation
plan applies to clinical faculty with a rank of Assistant Professor,
Associate Professor, and Professor and who participate in an active
clinical practice within University Medical Associates (UMA) or a
private practice affiliated by contract. If a clinical faculty member is
no longer actively practicing, he/she will not be covered by this
compensation plan. In this case, the academic percentage, FTE, and
salary will be reviewed and appropriate levels determined on an
individual basis.
Compensation Plan Grid
A. The clinical faculty compensation plan
grid is calculated based on:
- Medical Group
Management Association (MGMA) median salary data (standard applied
for creating the pay ranges).
- 10 half days (40
hours) per week equal 100% dedicated to College didactic and
scholarly activities (i.e., one half day (4 hours) equals 10%).
This is referred to as academic percentage.
- No individual is higher
than 80%.1.0 or .9 FTE
(full-time or 40 hours per week) treated the same.
B. Determination of a clinical faculty
salary is dependent on:
-
Category - Assistant, Associate, and Professor
Years since
medical school graduation (starting 3 years after)
Percent dedicated
to College didactic and scholarly activities (each half day or 4
hours equals 10%). See page 3 for detail. Time dedicated to the
College didactics may include, but are not limited to, development
of curriculum, teaching in classroom, block teams, advising,
committee assignments, etc.
-
College FTE -
Determines total number of weekly hours dedicated to College
activities (i.e., 40 hours is 1.0 or .9 FTE, 30 hours is .75 FTE, 20
hours is .5 FTE, etc.). Total weekly hours are split based on
percent between College didactic/scholarly responsibilities and
clinical teaching responsibilities (see page 3 for detail).
-
Exceptions to this
policy must be approved by the Dean in consultation with the College
Executive Committee.
C. For compensation to be based on this
plan, these factors apply:
-
Group 1 clinical faculty must maintain
50% or more dedicated to College didactic and scholarly activities and
be 1.0 FTE.
-
Group 2 clinical faculty must maintain
40% or less dedicated to College didactic and scholarly activities and
be .9 FTE
-
Exceptions may be considered at the
discretion of the Dean.
Note:
There are a few transition exceptions where a salary falls above the end
of the pay range (i.e., faculty with extensive years of College
service).
Compensation
Pay Plan Evaluation and Structure Movement
The Chief Financial Officer will evaluate
the clinical faculty compensation plan annually. The purpose is to
evaluate the plan in terms of effectiveness in achieving objectives,
external comparability and internal structure.
The compensation grid will be reviewed
annually to determine appropriate compensation plan. Factors that may be
considered in determining movement may include local economic climate,
raise pool, external and internal elements, and the average of the three
most recent years of available compensation data from the MGMA. The MGMA
average is based on median total compensation by rank (assistant
professor, associate professor, professor) for the clinical designation
family practice without obstetrics/gynecology.
Annual
Compensation Increases
Clinical faculty will receive annual
compensation increases in accordance with the University Raise
Distribution guidelines and the OU-COM Compensation Pool guidelines.
Promotion
and Tenure
Clinical faculty will follow University and
College policy and procedures for promotion and tenure. For a clinical
faculty member granted a promotion, the salary would increase at the
increments designated by the University for promotion increases (i.e.,
$3500 for assistant to associate, $5000 for associate to professor).
After this increase is applied and if the faculty salary falls below the
minimum of the new pay grade, the salary will be increased to equal the
minimum. If the faculty salary is above the maximum of the new pay
grade, the base salary will be increased by the total promotion
increment. Note: A promotion increase is only given once per promotion
(i.e., a faculty member cannot receive $3500 for a promotion from
assistant to associate as a Group II and then again as a Group I).
Malpractice
Malpractice assistance is available to
physicians practicing in UMA. This assistance is not available
to physicians practicing in affiliated practices.
Based on the percent of time dedicated to
College didactic/scholarly activities, the College will cover half of
this same percent of the faculty member’s malpractice insurance expense
(i.e., if individual is 30% dedicated to College didactic/scholarly
activity, then the College pays 15% of malpractice expense). It is at
the discretion of the Dean to cover above the minimum. Any change in
coverage from the previous year will be communicated to clinical faculty
by July1.
If the faculty member has an 80%
administrative College appointment, then the College will cover 100% of
their malpractice insurance expense.
