Why Hire Physician Employment Agreement Consultants?
Why Hire Physician Employment Agreement Consultants?
Congratulations! You've trained for years during medical school, residency and fellowship(s). Perhaps you've even been practicing for awhile and are looking for a new opportunity. Now you've aced interviews and landed those job offers. Here’s why it’s important to hire a skilled employment consultant with a legal background to explain your rights and obligations, and help you understand what you're worth.
Employment Contracts Contain Many Convoluted Terms And Provisions
Unfortunately, far too often doctors' employment contracts are vague and confusing. They can even contain burdensome restrictions and requirements that many doctors aren't aware of until it is far too late.
You'll want your employment consultant to analyze your contract, help you interpret complicated provisions, flag missing or unfair clauses, and compare your compensation offer(s) using both internal and nationwide physician survey data from MGMA.
A skilled consultant should also be able to dig deeper into your contract and explain the entire employment package (relocation reimbursement, signing bonus, compensation, bonus structure, vacation, CME, collection ratios, wRVU's, etc.) You've invested many challenging years training for your profession. Make sure you get what you deserve.
A Consultant With A Legal Background Can Analyze And Explain Your Contract
You went to medical school, not law school. There is no such thing as a “standard contract”, so relying on basic, one-size-fits-all advice isn’t as precise as hiring a consultant who can deeply analyze your unique situation. Remember, your employer's attorneys wrote the contract. It's important to have professionals who have trained at the best law schools and practiced at the top law firms on your side to level the playing field. At Vital Contract Analysis, we offer many different employment contract review options to serve your needs.
Experience Working With Employment Contracts Is Vital
Different legal contracts call for different skill sets
You wouldn’t ask a neurosurgeon to scrub in on a gastric bypass, so why ask your college roommate practicing bankruptcy law to take a look at your employment contract? Just as you've worked at developing your specialty, your consultant's specialty should be physician employment agreements.
Becoming An Employment Contract Expert Takes Years Of Practice
When hiring a physician employment contract consultant, you should know exactly who you’re talking to and what their qualifications are. It takes years of advising many different physician clients to develop a broad and deep base of understanding the healthcare employment environment.
Not only should your employment contract consultant have the legal knowledge and analytical skills to interpret your agreement, but they should have experience counseling physicians on negotiating tips and tactics that work with employers.
You've invested years and years in earning your unique and valuable skillset. You've sacrificed sleep, time with family and friends, and taken on debt to fulfill your calling. Now you deserve to fully enjoy the rewards.
