Please help me evaluate this derm offer


Recommended Posts

So, if you leave at 2 years, six months, you have to pay them fifty grand, and you can't work within 15 miles of them for a year?

 

You get a grand total of three weeks off for vacation, sick and CME? Are they paying any CME? Do they pay for licenses?

 

Why are you only receiving 40% of your pay for the first 2 months? If it's for training, what, specifically, will you be getting?

 

Not a great offer by far.

Professional license fee is covered. Im going to try to renogiate better terms for PTo, sick and CME. The introductory period is mostly shadowing while i wait for license to get finalized. Are there too many deal breakers?

New grad derm offer

 

3 year commitment in non major city in cali (BUT 50k termination fee)

 

NO NO NO - one year and no cancellation fee - honestly do they want you working for them if you want to leave????

 

 

 

 

 

60 day introductory period @ 50k annaul rate  (5 days a week, 8 hr days, no weekends) (health coverage provided at 100% covered)

 

NO NO - you are fully licensed and when you start working you get your full rate - if they want discounted help, well.... There is no such thing....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that period is over

 

125K base salary, or (whichever is higher) 20% of net receipts (computed at close of semi annual period)

 

2nd year = 130k base salary or (whichever is higher) 20% of net receipts (computed at close of semi annual period)

 

 

Very competitive - MAKE SURE it is in writing, that you get the HIGHER of the two, that you get FULL unrestricted access to all bills for your patients. I would suggest that your bonus/pay calculation is done quarterly or even monthly.... Just far simplier that way...... 

 

 

 

 

 

15 days PTO (assuming 5 days/week of work) towards vacation, education and sick leave

 

Not great

Basically you should get

3 Weeks vacation

10 holidays

Min 3 days CME (ask for a week)

1-2 weeks sick/personal

This totals out to 5+ weeks of PTO PLUS holidays - make sure to get the PLUS holidays - and outlining what the holiday are so that they can not make you work every minor holiday

 

 

 

malpractice covered without tail

NOPE - malpractice covered for all acts you preform while their employee for ever

 

 

 

 

1 year non compete  in 15 mil radius

One year is not bad - but 15 mile is big - go for 5 miles

 

 

 

 

Health insurance and 401 k after 3 month employment

90 day wait on health insurance is a long time....

401k 90 day is written into the plan an not variable 

Your 401K matching contribution should be detailed

 

 

 

What do you guys think?

 

Honestly not a bad offer minus the $50k, 3 weeks PTO and delay on health insurance

Salary is very good

 

 

Counter with Sam salary

$2500 CME and one week dedicated to it

Vacation time 4 weeks

Sick/Personal 1 week

NO $50k penalty

NO wait on Health Insurance

 

 

 

Remember if they were to hire a Derm Doc they would be looking at 200-300k/year salary, $5000+ CME and likely about 5-8 weeks PTO

 

Now you are a LONG ways from a Boarded Doc as a new grad, but your value will become apparent pretty quickly (but yes you will cost they money in short run....)

 

 

Other issues to resolve

Scheduled number of hours per day - define clinic hours - I would say NO MORE then 35 clinic hours per week

Define number of patients seen per hour and per day - and this is not variable - you have to come up with an reasonable learning curve so you don't burn out

 

 

Good luck - keep us posted
