MCOM Faculty Compensation Plan

Overview: Why we created a new Faculty Compensation Model

Following the 2024 expansion of the Affiliation Agreement between the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Tampa General Hospital, the Morsani College of Medicine has adopted a new faculty compensation model.

USF Health Morsani College of Medicine faculty members can find more detailed information about the structure of the compensation model below. 

The primary goals of the new compensation model are to:

  1. Provide market competitive compensation, allowing us to better recruit and retain top faculty.
  2. Deploy a model that ensures consistent, transparent, manageable, and fair compensation for all faculty.
  3. Develop a model that is financially sustainable.
  • USF Health’s faculty compensation plan must: 

    1. Promote and recognize excellence across clinical, research, and teaching missions. 
    2. Be equitable, transparent, simple, and understandable while being flexible to adapt to industry changes. 
    3. Provide total compensation that is sufficiently attractive to recruit and retain top talent. 
    4. Be tied to well-defined position roles, focused effort allocations, and expectations. 
    5. Foster individual and group accountability for performance, including incentives that reward program excellence, growth, and operational performance. 
    6. Be reasonably determined, with sound management of financial risks and resources of departments, USF Health, and the university in mind. 
    7. These guiding principles may also apply to each future Department plan design.
  • As part of the new Clinical Compensation Plan process, a Compensation Plan Steering Committee was formed and met starting on April 2, 2024.  This committee met bi-weekly through October of 2024 to oversee and preview key findings and recommendations of the compensation plan structure.
