There is much data on healthcare compensation available on the market. For example, a new report from Medscape Today found orthopedic surgeons earn the most, with a mean income of $405,000. But often, published data are misused by healthcare appraisers.

This very issue is addressed in Part 6 of BVR’s 2013 Online Symposium on Healthcare Valuation on Tuesday, June 25. In Critical Issues in the Use and Application of Market Survey Data and the Market Approach in Healthcare Compensation Valuation, expert Timothy Smith (Touchstone Valuation) will cover what every appraiser needs to know when applying data from compensation surveys in the healthcare field.
