New Resources on On-Call Compensation 

  • Aug 31, 2026

Are you taking hospital call without compensation? APMA has new resources to help members advocate for fair compensation for on-call coverage. 

In a new short video, Danielle Butto, DPM, shares national data on on-call compensation for podiatric physicians and lessons from her own experience successfully advocating for compensation. She discusses the importance of collecting hospital-specific data, demonstrating the value DPMs bring to their hospitals, working together with colleagues, and approaching negotiations strategically. 

Members can also access a “Hospital Call Coverage Negotiation Toolkit” with practical guidance for making the case for compensation and navigating conversations with hospital leadership. 

Visit APMA's on-call resources page to watch the video and access the toolkit.
