.... and this is why I have done full-time locums for AMCs.
I lay out my terms. Pay, days I want to work, and if and when I want to take call.
If you are in the northeast like me, you can have a home, family and base and just contract out to the AMCs. You can empower yourself and get some of that autonomy back.
These AMCs are so desperate I have friends who now work part-time for AMCs and rake in the benefits yet at the same time have it in their contracts to work at other non-AMC sites or locum companies.
My advice dealing with ALL AMCs- pay that $400-500 for a contract lawyer. Its the best $$$ you will have ever invested
