UCPA2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I have an offer for an urgent care/family practice in CA that will be primarily focused on urgent care as the physician who owns the practice manages most of the family medicine patients. 4 10's a week with 1 saturday 8hr shift a month-make my own schedule with the other PA on staff 20-25 pts a day with small procedures, lacs, abscesses etc. dual coverage with either a physician or another PA for all shifts $60/hr with full benefits after 90 days and malpractice covered, no non-compete clause in contract CME's covered 14 days of vacation a year No retirement offered which isn't too big of a deal because I already have one set up privately and have been contributing over 10 years. Other than licensing reimbursement is there anything missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeTheBabe Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Looks decent, check if the malpractice is occurence or if tail will be included. Also, it would be good if the CME days and $$ was outlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted May 30, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 30, 2018 see if they will pay DEA, state license, NCCPA fees, professional memberships, etc so you can use your cme fund for cme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1234 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 $60/hr with full benefits after 60 days? Are you getting paid a reduced salary or just benefits not kicking in until 60 days? 20-25 is a good amount of patients per day for a new grad. Be aware as I think that is WAY too many for you until you have at least 1 year experience. I would do 2 patients per hour for at least 6 months. Ask and let me know this is a legal issue. You will get burnt out very quickly and your anxiety/stress will kick in a few months with worrying you are missing something (which is very possible being new and see that many)....Good luck.

UCPA2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thanks everyone for the help! I will look into all of these things! camoman1234- the pay is full from day one, only the benefits kick in at a later date. I'll be in 'orientation' for the first 3 months and then will be on my own with another provider so there will always be someone else there with me. I was told the patients are very low acuity so hopefully this is true and allows for time for adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
