I tell Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation candidates considering California 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 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offer in California is whether the role sits in one of the major California metros above or in a shortage-area county.
