Got a hospital offer and an FQHC offer on the table? The hospital number is usually bigger, but that is rarely the whole story.
Our new post walks through FQHC salary vs hospital pay in Sacramento the way we do it with candidates every week: base pay, loan repayment, PSLF, malpractice coverage, and what your week actually looks like. Clinic roles are mostly weekday daytime hours. Hospital pay often comes with 12-hour shifts, nights, and weekends.
And to be fair both ways: sometimes the hospital offer really is the better one, and we will tell you when it is.
