contract New Grad "General Surgery" Offer

[cphipps]

I'm about to graduate and I've been offered a position at a hospital in SW Oklahoma. "General Surgery" is in quotations because I would technically be working in a specialty surgical clinic. My supervising physicians would be two general surgeons, a urologist, and a gastroenterologist. I would do a mixture of clinic and OR for these surgeons. I'm not sure about call yet. Contract specifics:

• 1 year duration
• $105K base salary with 2 possible bonuses:
  • up to $5K depending on overall clinic wRVU productivity
  • up to "5% base salary for achievement of recommended metrics"
• Sign-on bonus of $4K
• Relocation allowance of up to $6K
• Loan repayment assistance $10K to be paid over agreement term (1 year)
• Malpractice and licensing paid/reimbursed
• Full benefits, 401K
• 26 days PTO
• 3 days and $2,500 for CME over agreement term (1 year)
