seekingtruths Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Any and all advice much appreciated!! Thank you for your time :) Seems like a wonderfully supportive cardiology group that is relatively large (currently 35+ providers). I love cardiology and am excited about this practice and the way they support their APPs. They have trained new grads before and most APPs stay at least 6-10 years after hire. Cardiology offer for new grad 3 year contract 85k base sign on bonus relocation assistance 5k for student loans yearly bonus - no info on how this is calculated or what % of APPs attain this 3k CME 24 days PTO licenses and DEA reimbursed separately from CME malpractice + tail Supposedly there is a raise written into the contract for years 2 and 3 but I am waiting for more info on this. Please share any and all thoughts! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekingtruths Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 No bites, huh :) Overall I'm happy with it and I think I'll take it. The only kicker is the 3 year contract but I think I can live with it. Still welcoming any advice y'all can share! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seekingtruths Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks. Included but I need to contribute $ every pay period, something like $30 every two weeks for myself only. More if covering dependents. Health/dental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewconvert Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Maybe see if you can negotiate the length of contract down. The raises they tell you about mean nothing if not in writing, so I wouldn't do anything until they specify what the raises are. Long story short is you are going to be a lot more valuable in a year, especially two, and with such a long contract and undetermined raises you may find yourself earning well under what you could be with a shorter contract and some leverage.

cbrsmurf Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Benefits sounds good. Need to know how much of a raise you would get. What happens if you break the contract/leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Watch for a non-compete clause. If you leave the cardiology practice and want to stay in cardiology, can you do that without having to move? Some contracts forbid you from working in your field within some distance of your old practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekingtruths Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thank you all for your thoughts!! So turns out raises are not included. But I decided I'm happy with the overall compensation. Most important to me is that the culture of the place is good and I think I'll learn a lot and be very supported while I get my feet under me as a new grad. Thanks UGoLong - yes, there is a regional noncompete. Not ideal but I'm okay with it. I decided to take the position! Have a great day, everyone!
