The contract: what this ad says, and what to ask
The ad does not say. Ask the recruiter:
- Pay model. Base salary, wRVU rate and threshold, or collections percentage? What did year-2 doctors actually earn?
- Call. Call ratio, weekends, GI bleed call, and is advanced (ERCP) call separate?
- Partnership. Years to partner, buy-in amount, and what you buy: ASC units, ancillaries, or a title without equity?
- Schedule. Endoscopy days versus clinic half-days per week, and how many hospitals you cover.
- Advanced procedures. How many ERCPs and EUS a year would a new hire actually get?
- APP and staff support. How many APPs, nurses, and schedulers per physician?
- Malpractice. Occurrence or claims-made, and who pays for tail coverage if you leave?
- Noncompete. Radius in miles and length in months, and does it apply if they end your contract?
- Visa. Who files the petition, are they cap-exempt, and have they placed a Conrad 30 J-1 physician before?
