I am going out for interviews soon, apologies i'm a bit naieve as this will be my first contract negotiation process post fellowship. Couple of q's, would appreciate advice.
1) What is the going rate for a base salary based on number of clinical sessions. is it fair to say that 4 sessions should buy 220 (e.g, academics), and 6 sessions 350 (e.g., community)? Are there any community hospitals that expect 10 clinical sessions, or this is only private practice?
2) Is it ok to haggle over salary on the first interview day, before you have an offer, or should you wait until you actually know whether they want you to start haggling? e.g., via email, second look, etc.
3) How granular do you get with the contract, (e.g., day starts at 8 versus 9, not seeing patients from 12-1, have 1 hour for new patients and 30 minutes for follow up, etc.). Day starting at 8 or 9 seems a sleeper issue, since that is a 15% increase in the number of patients you are seeing per week.
