Review current data for correlating RVU to salary for IRs vs DRs in practice, and discuss why the average IR makes more salary while doing less RVU than their DR partner. Explore all the reasons why RVUs are an antiquated and poor metric for gauging IR value vs. DR counterparts. Discuss ideal ways for IRs to demonstrate and show their value clinically and economically to their partners, DRs, admin, and C-suite.
