I thought I could help
Good gracious...is the community in a toxic wasteland?! That is a hefty signing bonus.
Maybe this,
Looks like its Madison County, Iowa based on my research
Looks like they have 3 FPs, an IM and a Peds, all DOs, plus 3 midlevels

You can scuba dive in Iowa????
I think you should demand a recruiting bonus cabinbuilder, it seems like you got a few people interested. (Also think about including a bonus for the guy who identified the place)
Did you have to sign up for something to get the flyers?Nah, I get these flyers in my mail every week. I got my current job from a flyer. Seems I've had better luck going that route than by having a recruiter call be with potential jobs. Never know what's going to fall in your lap when you least expect it.
I work as a paramedic in Iowa right now, there are some pretty nice hospitals and some pretty sketchy hospitals...

What makes the sketchy hospitals sketchy?
I also assume this is rural Iowa, considering I've driven through many many times, and yes they do have spring-fed deep lakes where you can do scuba-diving, and getting to work via hot-air balloon would be pretty cool until winter
CB, thanks, as always for boosting the 'specialty' I want to go into! I was having a nice discussion last night about why I wanted to go into family medicine, and why I think it's important for our society...
It's somewhat telling that they don't mention where it is.
That "signing bonus" exists for a reason, I'm sure.
Simply because of the size of it, it's very likely not so much a "bonus" as it is a loan, forgiven if you stay a certain length of time, but repayable (possibly even with a penalty) if you leave early.
Always read the fine print.
In general, hospital stigma spreads quickly among groups. For many of them, it only takes visiting the hospital's website to realize what kind of a shop they run. A lot of these hospitals suffer from a lack of physicians, lack of facilities, etc. Generally, there is a reason why this occurs (poor management, poor health system backing, etc). Then there is the stigma gained to get the sketchy status based on care provided for patients, etc. This tends to spread quickly. If you want some specific examples, PM me and I will send you some.
You say you are from somewhere between Colorado and Minnesota... are you from a rural area either state? Do you have experience working in rural practice? I think if you are specializing in family medicine, rural medicine is where it is at, especially the places that have their FMs run full scope.
As an aside, I was at work this weekend and our hospital's ems radio picks up stuff from crazy distances (100-200+ miles). We were picking up radio traffic from madison county all weekend, seemed busy.
Anyone want a high paying job? Check this out:

I'm going to be an MS1 this year or I would jump all over it, I grew up about 30 minutes from that area.
It certainly looks like a high stress situation, but for 475K, I could do it for a few years and get my loans paid down.
I posted it to show another example of the potential money to be made. I don't know how anyone could expect to make 475K and NOT work your tail off.
You guys are lucky, I'll just be finishing school at 40, residency at 43... My only upside is my husband makes decent money so hopefully we can chip away at the loans while I am in residency...
I wouldn't complain about that kind of money though, I just don't know how I'd get it in Denver!! CB if you have any thoughts, PM me Always good to chat with you!

Coop, don't offer things like this, he already wants his pilots license, giving him a legit reason to have one is a horrible reason!!!
CB, I know, Adam is set on mountains, so the best I could do is maybe move to ID... Not sure, I guess we'll cross that bridge in 7yrs... There's money in CO, I've seen stuff out the Grand Junction way that are in the 220 range, but I don't know what I'd be doing, or where it is... Just know it's out that way... The reason we're here is Adam has a job paying 80k/yr, can't really turn your nose up at that even if I make 220, 80k is still a chunk of change...
We'll see when that time comes, but 1500-2000/wk isn't laughable imho. If my salary in Denver was 150k (for instance), I would have to find a job imho, that was at least 100-120k more and in an area we're both willing to live... He is a manager in a dealership, and while he may be willing to give up his job to move, the job would have to be somewhere we're both willing to go... I guess that's my feeling... Montana could be an option, we have friends there, but we also have friends and family here sooo..... not sure... we'll see when it happens I guess...
South Dakota and Iowa seem to be paying fairly well. A few places in Iowa I know of are offering 200k+, South Dakota offers around that with the advantage of no income tax. I dont think you are going to see 400k+ unless youre working your ass off
It is not difficult to find opportunities to make over 300k in SD unlessyou are in Sioux Falls or Rapid City. Go to neighboring towns such as custer, hot springs, sturgis, and deadwood pay very well.
What's the high range a new grad coming out of FM residency can expect to pull in a rural job? Have a friend graduating in a year and they are just starting to look into this. Specifically in the Southeastern US. Is 200K+ too much to expect?
I wonder what salaries will be like in 7yrs when it actually matters for me
I honestly don't think 200k is too much, CB says that rural always pays way more than urban, so I would have to think that's at least doable...
