In May, 2005 the Alliance for CME completed a member survey, gathering data regarding salaries of directors, managers, and coordinators. In addition, respondents were asked to provide job descriptions of comparable positions. A total of 1,869 members received the survey, requesting that it be completed and returned along with job descriptions. The survey yielded a 12% response rate, with 460 individual salaries of full time employees contributing to the raw data.
The data used to produce the tool kit were garnered by an electronic survey. The survey population was not a randomized sample, nor do the respondents represent sufficient randomization to warrant a valid generalization to the survey population. Data presented are not statistically significant, but rather descriptive of the responses. Participants self-reported location, population and provider group.
The Alliance gratefully acknowledges the time and effort of the respondents in providing this valuable information.
Data are reported in graph format, which includes salary highs, lows, averages, medians, ranges, and standard deviations. For director, coordinator, and manager, data sets are presented graphically according to regions of the country (location), population, and provider groups.
In addition, a job description template is provided along with examples of duties and responsibilities of directors, managers, and coordinators. This tool kit should provide valuable data to determine salaries for the three positions studied as well as job descriptions for each.
