RVUs and Physician Compensation

Nicoletti Notes March 2026
Published on March 10th, 2026

It’s the time of year when residents are looking for jobs, evaluating offers, and deciding where to take their first attending job. It’s exciting. Congratulations to finishing med school and residency.

It’s the time of year when residents are weighing geography, the culture of an organization, and deciphering how their salary will be affected by Relative Value Units.

In support of their hard work, we’ve moved our RVU “explainer” from behind the paywall. Please share it far and wide for those who might need it.

Dear Resident, Do you Understand Relative Value Units (RVUs)?
