CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
Negotiating a contract before signing can set you up for success while a poorly executed employment contract can cause additional stressors when stuck in a less than idea work situation. Explore all of our contract resources below to help empower you to negotiate the best deal.

Negotiation Databases
​
Our salary and negotiation databases are some of our most popular resources for our physician community. We provide compensation data from across the US for all expects associated with employment, from salary to on call structure to bonuses.

Contract Attorney Database

Almost every physician should have their employment contract reviewed by a contract attorney before signing.

NONCLINICAL CAREERS
​
As burnout continues to be a concern in the healthcare industry, more and more physicians are exploring nonclinical career options that allow them to utilize their training and expertise while providing a more predictable schedule or less stressful environment.
We want to help empower every doctor to find the best work-life balance and career, whether in clinical medicine or not, but make sure you've asked yourself the key questions before leaving clinical medicine before making the transition to a nonclinical career as your frustration may be situational and not completely systemic. If you are ready to change settings or leave medicine, we have a physician's guide to leaving or quitting your job.
​
Below are some of the most popular nonclinical careers for physicians.

PRIVATE PRACTICE
We are a huge fan of private practice and the flexibility and control it can provide physicians, especially with burnout as an ever present concern in healthcare. Though private practice has many advantages, running a small (or large!) business is not without its difficulties and isn't for all physicians. We aim to provide you will all the necessary tools to help decide on the best path forward in medicine for your aspirations. If private practice is for you, we want to help guide you to success as well.
