ILPA Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hello everyone, I just got a job offer working with otolaryngologist who is also a cosmetic surgeon. 75% cases will be ENT related and 25% cosmetic. This is completely new as I am currently in rehab medicine. Since I have little kids I needed a part-time position (30 hours/week). THis practice is about 1 year old and I am their new and only PA. Physician wants me to be extension of him and very independent...wants me to run the ENT department for him....So here it is.... $58/hour for minimum of 30 hours/week ( they are willing to work with me regarding days to cooperate with my nanny :) ) CME allowence....don't know how much yet, but if it is ENT related only license renewal/DME renewal paid Don't need health benefits---have it through my spouse 401K not offered yet, new practice Bonus productivity--not yet, they asked me to help them grow and will re-visit this in the future Malpractice covered--shared limits 1/3 million with no tail Advice, comments..... much appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialMedicine Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Almost 90,000 a year for a 30/hr a week job and ENT is a new field for you. The benefits seem ok ..... they save big bucks avoiding the health insurance depending on region that could cost up to 6-7k for an individual ... what about 1-2 paid weeks vacation ? If you help them build a lucrative practice when your child is older and you have patient loyalty in a few years you could request the big bucks. If the practice and physician seemed high quality I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I agree with socialmedicine. I think this is a good opportunity but would ask for at least one week paid vacay and a 5 days for CME. How are you comfortwise with ENT and Surgery? Oh and 58/hr x 30 hr weeks for 52 weeks is $90,480! That's about how much a FT job would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILPA Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Since 30 hrs/week is considered part-time, vacations/holidays are not paid :( I have had exposure to surgery in the past and like it. ENT is something totally different, but this is more of a procedural position, which I like :) I think this position has a lot of opportunities for growth, which is intriguing. Thank you for your comments. It is comforting to hear what you're thinking, from someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
