The 2025 Salary Survey offers a timely and comprehensive snapshot of how emergency physicians are compensated across the country—and how those figures vary by role, region, gender, and practice setting. The results reveal compensation gaps, regional disparities, and persistent differences across gender and practice type, while also affirming that in many ways, the survey sample closely reflects ACEP’s broader membership.
The 2025 ACEP Salary Survey also reinforces known trends. Academic and female physicians earn less. Rural work pays more, but it remains underfilled. The report provides current benchmarks for emergency physicians to evaluate their own compensation. The findings also raise strategic questions for ACEP’s ongoing advocacy and workforce planning efforts.

About the Survey
The purpose of the ACEP 2025 Compensation research project is to provide members and the industry information on compensation and benefits in the industry, as well as profiles across demographic measures. The survey sample of 61,117 included all emailable members of ACEP believed to be currently working at the time of sample selection. The survey and invitations to participate were designed jointly by ACEP and Readex, an internationally recognized independent survey research company founded in 1947. Development and hosting of the web-based survey, data collection, and tabulation of the results were handled by Readex. The survey was closed for tabulation on May 20, 2025, with 1,774 total responses, a 3 percent response rate.
