Some one posted some where about what are the Big Box shops. I can't find that post to reply there, so here is a new thread. In the spirit of the system we know well by students and residents who ask for advice, "Help me rank my programs!", let's collectively define the best of the Big Box Shops.
I ask that only attendings post their rankings, but others comment freely.
1) Large multi-specialty health systems that are listed as non-profit with their tax structure spanning across a state or states (not physician run)
2) HMO multi-specialty health systems spanning across states
3) Large multi-state online telemedicine firms
4) For profit Psychiatry / Addiction hospital chains spanning across states
5) Large multi-specialty health systems that are listed as non-profit with their tax structure spanning across a state or states (physician run)
6) VA
7) University Academic Center
8) Community mental health centers (not for profit)
9) Community mental health centers (for profit)
10) State Hospitals
11) Large multispecialty clinics with numerous offices localized in a smaller geographic area but no hospital ownership (not physician owned)
12) Regional hospital +/- Psych unit, +/- outpatient clinic (not physician owned) in one location only typically serving a rural community
13) Large multispecialty clinics with numerous offices localized in a smaller geographic area but no hospital ownership (physician owned)
14) Private for profit niche clinics like Eating Disorders, residential depression clinics, other super niche populations
--------------------------(below this line, I believe these are not Big Box Shops)---------------------------
15) Group Psychiatrist +/- therapists, for profit, private practice insurance based
16) Group Psychiatrist +/- therapists, for profit, private practice cash based
17) solo practice insurance based
18) solo practice cash based
