Are all these offers from hospital systems or is physician owned private practice still clinging to life in some areas?
There are many physician owned practices (single specialty and multi specialty) who are hiring and going strong. Many are not offering partnership. That seems to be the trend. And many of the old partners are working longer. The issue is when or if the big groups will sell to the hospitals and if they do what happens to the employee doctor. Will they stay or leave. I guess that would depend on the contract negotiations and the individual situation of each doctor.
