A new survey from staffing firm  Merritt, Hawkins & Associates illustrates

recruited by the firm landed  salaries averaging $185,000 last year, compared

market. Still, it's  easy to understand primary care physicians' frustration 
at not being rewarded  financially for their additional years of training.
