NYCPAC Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Is there a solid base salary? Any productivity incentives? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jysn240 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 5000 semi-monthly No productivity bonus written. They said it'll be 100% transparent and we can work out a bonus system once they see how much I can bring in. I'm the first full-time prescriber that they're hiring so it'll be a learning process for us both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumsden Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Is there tail coverage? How much call are you stuck with? Do you have a non-compete agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittryn Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 wait - 5,000 SEMI-monthly...does that mean $10,000 a MONTH? company vehicle and all else - sounds like a sweet deal, if you like psych. just be prepared - there is a big knowledge base required to safely prescribe the myriad psych meds out there now, and there is more and more evidence of "newer" (past 10-20 years) psych meds having delayed but catastrophic side effects. do you feel you have the knowledge base to provide safe patient care under those conditions? plus - psych pts can be...well...I get them all the time in my specialty, and it can be challenging to accurately isolate and diagnose their conditions and not just treat symptoms. ps - ooh, wait.....20-24 pts a DAY?!? eek....I don't know about you, but I need to KNOW my patients to feel I am giving quality, responsible, appropriate health care. I left PC bc they had the same pt flow expectations. I just can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
