Contract recommendations

[Soccer171983]

Hope anyone could give some advice on contract help post fellowship. General do's and don't date great but anything specifically important as a pulmonary critical care attending would be helpful. Also, I don't know if it matters but I am looking to stay in Las Vegas post fellowship.

Thanks.

Private practice or academics? Employed?
That will help the pros here to drop some knowledge.

Basically, you'll want to run the numbers past some of us. Some places look to get you to work long and hard for cheap (relatively speaking).

Also if you are looking to stay in the area, start contacting various hospitals now.

...and be sure to not let on that you want/need to stay in the area.

Do not assume call is shared equally. I.e. Call is shared between 4 providers does not necessarily mean 1:4 call. Senior partners may take call once a week leaving the newbie to pick up the slack.

Ask for the expected call coverage and have it written down either in your contract or offer letter.

Basic numbers I am seeing are base 300-320k. Productivity bonus. 15-25k student loan reimbursement. 20-30k sign on. One model is 7on 7off 7a-7p with np covering inpatient nights and 1-2 phone nights per week.

If this is for CCM only, what you are being offered is on the low end. The 2016 MGMA and AMGA salary surveys list the median for intensivists as approximately 400k.

Although I am not sure how busy this gig is and what the location is. Unless this is in the heart of a big city or is not very busy, you may be getting low balled.
