How We Count
- What counts. Active clinical physician postings on Mozibox that are onsite, hybrid or field work; remote jobs are left out. Counts are refreshed hourly and dated with the latest count.
- Metro. Each metro is a Census metropolitan statistical area, the counties the Census Bureau groups around a core city. A posting belongs to the metro containing its primary location, and to one metro only.
- Specialty. A posting belongs to the one specialty it is for: the specialty its title names, else the specialty its requirements name. Postings for urgent care, correctional medicine, wound care and non-physician roles are left out, as are postings open to several unrelated specialties.
- Openings. Postings for the same role at the same employer in the same metro count once.
- Pay. Annual base salary as employers posted it, in US dollars. Hourly pay is not converted, maximum-only figures ("up to") are left out, and figures outside $100,000-$1,500,000 or ranges whose top is more than 3 times the bottom are treated as placeholders. Each opening counts by the middle of its range. A median and middle half are shown only from 8 or more openings.
- Which pages exist. A page is published once its specialty and metro have at least 20 openings from at least 5 employers. Mozibox lists the jobs it collects, not every vacancy in a metro.
