Latest neurology compensation data available in new dashboard
September 9, 2025
One of the best resources for understanding the US neurology landscape has been updated with the latest trends and data.
The AAN Neurology Compensation & Productivity survey takes place every other year—most recently in spring 2025. More than 4,300 neurology professionals responded, making this one of the largest databases of its kind in the US. AAN members who completed the survey can access it for free, and all other AAN members can buy access for $500 (nonmember price: $2,000).

The dashboard is useful for neurologists of any practice type, business administrators, and other neurology professionals like advanced practice providers. Use it to:
- Determine fair market value by benchmarking compensation and productivity
- Filter data by subspecialty, geographic region, gender, and more
- Gauge demand for neurology services using total patient encounters and appointment wait times
- Find new opportunities by reviewing ancillary services
- Discover other trends for on-call rates and duties, practice performance and size, and much more
“As an academic chair, my goal is to ensure equitable salaries and workloads for all newly appointed faculty members,” Brett Kissela, MD, MS, FAAN, at the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine. “The NCP survey is exceedingly beneficial, offering detailed and specific information that encompasses various neurology subspecialties by rank and region. The data on workload and productivity is invaluable for discussions with our local administrators.”
Using the dashboard
The dashboard has 10 pages of information, including detailed tables and customizable pages for various datasets, such as on neurologists, APPs, practices, on-call rates, inpatient services, teleneurology, and more. These pages include a vast array of filters to help you explore the data—subspecialty, community size, gender, setting, region, clinical FTE, academic rank, and more. You can filter out outliers in compensation and RVUs, explore inpatient and outpatient benchmarking, and dig into telehealth data.
Once you’ve customized your dashboard to explore the data that matters most to you, you can save your findings for later and even download them for use offline. Individual neurologists and APPs, academic leaders, and those who own or manage practices of any size will all find useful pages in the dashboard—with so many different professionals contributing, there’s useful data for anyone.
Discover your professional value
With the survey taking place every two years, the dashboard is a longtime resource for neurology professionals interested in key insights about their field and their own professional value. Participants and dashboard users range from private practice clinicians to leaders at large institutions.
“As a small business owner, the NCP survey serves as a great marker for me to see how I am doing compared to others in similar positions, and each year, it can be a great tool to see how well I have progressed through the previous year,” said Sonya Knight, DO, FAAN, the owner and solo neurologist of Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center in Blue Bell, PA. “The survey has also brought up interesting questions that I don't necessarily think of in my day-to-day business practices. Finally, it gives me, a small-practice practitioner, a look at the differences of larger organizations, which allows me to recognize how companies grow and allows me to assess my own capabilities.”
