Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician Salary in Minnesota (2026)
A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician practicing in Minnesota can expect a base salary inside the national Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation band of $290K to $430K, with the median tracking close to $335K. The Minnesota variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Bloomington and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by Minnesota cost-of-living alone.

Where Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers land highest in Minnesota
Minnesota is dominated by Mayo Clinic, M Health Fairview, HealthPartners, Allina Health, Essentia Health, and CentraCare. For Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the highest-comp Minnesota opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of Minneapolis — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 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 Minnesota Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offer comfortably above the $430K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
Minnesota incentive programs that boost Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation take-home
The Minnesota State Loan Repayment Program supports primary care, behavioral health, and dental providers in HPSA sites. The Minnesota Rural Physician Loan Forgiveness Program is a meaningful tool for physicians committing to rural Minnesota practice. The Minnesota Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is consistently filled. NHSC loan repayment is widely used across rural Minnesota FQHCs. For Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 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 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offer in Minnesota
When a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation candidate sends me an Minnesota offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $290K–$430K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. Minnesota's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice licenses with a typical timeline of 60-90 days for US-trained physicians.
