Interventional Cardiology Physician Salary in Rhode Island (2026)
A Interventional Cardiology physician practicing in Rhode Island can expect a base salary inside the national Interventional Cardiology band of $580K to $850K, with the median tracking close to $675K. The Rhode Island variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by Rhode Island cost-of-living alone.

Where Interventional Cardiology offers land highest in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is dominated by Lifespan, Care New England, and CharterCARE Health Partners. For Interventional Cardiology, the highest-comp Rhode Island opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of Providence — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Interventional Cardiology role carries a 10-25% base premium plus signing bonuses of $30K-$100K and loan repayment of $50K-$200K layered on top of base. That stacking can push an Rhode Island Interventional Cardiology offer comfortably above the $850K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
Rhode Island incentive programs that boost Interventional Cardiology take-home
The Rhode Island Health Professional Loan Repayment Program supports primary care, behavioral health, and dental providers in HPSA sites. The Rhode Island Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is small but consistently filled. NHSC loan repayment is used at FQHCs in Providence, Pawtucket, and Woonsocket. For Interventional Cardiology specifically, these federal and state programs frequently add the equivalent of $30K-$60K per year of pre-tax value over the first three years of service.
How I benchmark a Interventional Cardiology offer in Rhode Island
When a Interventional Cardiology candidate sends me an Rhode Island offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $580K–$850K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. Rhode Island's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The Rhode Island Department of Health Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline licenses with a typical timeline of 60-90 days for US-trained physicians.
