I tell Orthopedic Surgery candidates considering North Carolina that the in-state base typically lands inside the national range above, with rural and HPSA-designated counties producing offers at or above the upper end once signing bonuses, loan repayment, and rural premiums are stacked. The single biggest variance lever for any Orthopedic Surgery offer in North Carolina is whether the role sits in one of the major North Carolina metros above or in a shortage-area county.
