Finally — An Insider Who Works for YOU.

At Academic Physician Advisors, we exist for one purpose: to make sure you—a faculty physician or researcher—are paid what you're worth, positioned where you deserve to be, and equipped to advocate powerfully for your own career. Best of all, we do all the work, then coach you to advocate for yourself.

The firm was founded by Dr. Gregg Tarquinio, Ph.D., MBA, CPA—one of the most experienced academic medical center executives in the country. Dr. Tarquinio has spent decades inside the leadership offices of some of America's most prestigious institutions: Vice-Chair of Administration and Finance at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Associate Dean for Administration and Finance at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Senior Consultant to the faculty practice leadership at Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Weill Cornell, Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center, and more than twenty other leading academic medical centers.


Put simply: Gregg has sat at the table where your salary is decided. He has designed faculty compensation plans, recruited physicians, determined development packages, and advised department chairs and deans on what they value—and what they'll pay for. He has seen thousands of academic physician compensation packages across virtually every specialty, and he knows exactly where institutions leave money on the table and why.

Now, for the first time, that insider knowledge works for you.

Gregg founded Academic Physician Advisors because he recognized a fundamental imbalance: medical schools and medical centers have highly sophisticated administrative teams with extensive compensation data and negotiating experience. Most faculty physicians have none of that—and leadership knows it. Gregg is the equalizer.

Whether you're concerned about your current salary, preparing for your annual review, considering a new appointment, or simply wondering if you're being fairly compensated for your clinical work, your research, and your teaching—Gregg brings the expertise, the data, and the strategy that only an insider can provide.

A published author on faculty performance-based compensation, a speaker at the AAMC, the Medical Group Management Association, and leading academic medical centers nationwide, Gregg combines rigorous academic credentials with real-world leadership experience across institutions managing hundreds of millions of dollars in faculty compensation.

This is your career. Your family's financial future. You deserve an advocate who knows the system from the inside.

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials
"What I appreciated most was how confidential the entire process was. Gregg understood exactly how sensitive salary discussions are in academic medicine, and he handled everything with absolute discretion. My compensation increased by over $50,000."
— Faculty Cardiologist, Academic Medical Center
"Gregg coached me and gave me a completely different way of thinking about my value. The report was thorough and persuasive. I got the raise."
— Assistant Professor, Neuroscience Research — MD, PhD
"I had no idea how far below market I was until Gregg showed me the data. Within three months of implementing the plan we discussed, I received a $38,000 salary increase and an increased travel allowance. I wish I had done this years ago."
— Associate Professor, Internal Medicine
"I wasn't just looking for a raise. I wanted a promotion and a larger role. Gregg helped me build a case for both. The Practice Perfect Plan gave me a complete roadmap. Six months later, I was appointed Vice Chair. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
— Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs (Promoted), Academic Medical Center
"I've been at my institution for 14 years and always assumed my salary was 'just what they pay.' Gregg showed me the benchmark data for my specialty and my wRVU productivity, and it was eye-opening. I received a $22,000 increase at my next review."
— Professor, Hematology/Oncology — 14-Year Faculty Member
"As a PhD researcher—not a clinician—I wasn't sure there was even an analysis that applied to me. Gregg not only found it, he cited it in a written report and helped me understand how to translate my NIH funding success into salary leverage. My base increased by $45,000."
— Researcher, Genetic Medicine — PhD
"I was six months into my faculty appointment when I realized I had signed a contract well below what my peers were earning. Gregg was calm, strategic, and brilliant. He coached me to reopen that conversation with leadership–and it worked. A $29,000 adjustment in year one."
— Assistant Professor, Dermatology — Early-Career Faculty
"Gregg understands academic medical center culture in a way that no generic career coach ever could. He knew what my Chair would respond to, and he was right on every point. The strategy he built got me appointed as Division Director with a compensation package I hadn't thought was possible."
— Newly Appointed Division Director, MD, MBA
"The free consultation was genuinely free and genuinely valuable. By the end of that first hour, I already knew I was significantly underpaid and had a framework for what to do about it. The full engagement was worth every dollar. My take-home increased by more than $55,000 annually."
— Faculty Endocrinologist, Research-Intensive University
"What sets Gregg apart is that he has actually been in the room where these decisions are made. He doesn't guess at what leadership values; he knows. My salary negotiation felt completely different with his strategy behind me. The result: a $41,000 raise and an expanded research budget."
— Associate Professor, Infectious Diseases
