That's good to know that it is possible to get those types of guarantees, maybe just have to ask.
Alma, MI job is not community academics really. It’s basically Perma Locums
Guessing the permalocums has less expectations of them for similar pay?Community academics vs. permalocums hospital employee?

I mean... it ain't the WORST list. I've seen worse.Agree, not a very impressive list. Slow time of the year, though.
Related, can anyone with access to a library share a snapshot of the latest AAMC salary data? Thx
Legit but selective according to people I asked.Whats the deal with the Oregon clinic job? Legit?

Basically every southwest florida practice. I gave up trying to get in there long ago with my cow college degrees. Not sure I would fit in with a culture where that is an important thing anyway.Ya think?
Just count the number of IVY undergrad degrees in this group.
The marquee, urban private groups (see INOVA, SERO, Princeton, TOG) are filled to the brim with pedigree. Nice gig if you can land it. Only folks from very top training programs need apply.

The number of new grads with legit HDR experience falls every year
Def a marketable skill for those who know how to do it well
If I was in a high volume brachy residency PGY4ish, could try as much as possible to get extra brachy time/experience that PGY5 year and market that for jobs. That person could find themselves a nice niche - if you like it of course (as I say being 3.5+ years from my last implant of anything).
Definitely in demand at larger centers thoughHDR skill is not as valuable as it used be... cervix is rare and won't support > 1 FTE at most centers.
Prostate HDR is not much better
That Clearwater job sounds good if you're willing to hustle (McKesson/uson). Daytona job is urorads. Still definitely more sunshine state jobs than we've seen in recent pastI mean... it ain't the WORST list. I've seen worse.
I wish I had this skill, although I'm not at a center that justifies it. At larger places, they are going to want to be comprehensive (understandably so) and I would say having good brachy in your pocket is going to be a big plus when applying as most of their docs also have no desire to do it.HDR skill is not as valuable as it used be... cervix is rare and won't support > 1 FTE at most centers.

I would say peds and brachy are both very marketable in those larger non academic places where they still have to offer those services (financially less lucrative too, which is why they are often subsidized by some of the other services in the dept... Personally I'd be fine contributing my revenue to not deal with peds or interstitial brachy)I wish I had this skill, although I'm not at a center that justifies it.

As a greenhorn peering into the job market
can someone explain why community academics is so disliked? Will be interviewing with a few -
If pay is 400-500k, 4 day clinic 1 admin day
Imagine getting paid 6 figures more than that for the same work in a non academic hospital or PP? You might find your answer thereAs a greenhorn peering into the job market

In general it's all of the bad of academics with none of the good. You also have in the back of your mind the knowledge that the PP docs that used to own and work that site on their own were making literally at least double what you are for the same work.As a greenhorn peering into the job market

If that’s the starting gig, not so bad, depending on production thresholds.As a greenhorn peering into the job market

Judgement call based on limited info but I take “community academics” to mean non primary site with no resident coverage but in a hospital system that has a rad onc residency program.If that’s the starting gig, not so bad, depending on production thresholds.
Some places truly give you that day from home.
“Community academics” is not well defined. Could be a UPMC satellite 5 miles from the city that has residents. Some may consider Banner that - associated with medical schools and other non RO residents and fellows, clinical trials, and the work / pay are fair and reasonable.
Seper seems to have described the worst possible version of it.
If you get starting 450+ and 4 days in office, 5-7 consults a week in a decent area - this is now a “good job”
Agree with first two lines.Yes these jobs are always 5 d / week on-site because University sticks to the maximalist definition of the supervision requirements (ACR accreditation etc).
Vacation time is low (4 or 5 weeks in my region at the main players). You have to file for coverage time at your satellite months in advance.
Once the pool RadOnc doc comes to cover you, they are always pissy due to their 60 miles morning drive and are trying to re-plan your patients since they want that 3 extra wRVU.
Are academic sites now doing the classic onerous non-compete with "two years guaranteed" salary but no hope of meeting production metrics and subsequent steep decrease in pay in year-3 thing... that private hospital employed positions love?
It'll be like matching into top tier rad onc in 2012
Private practice in Austin, TX.
What do you think? 100? 150 applications?
I doubt it. aren't we against their abortion stance or something?

Blue city in a red state is ideal for many.... Unfortunately if that situation comes up, many will just travel to get that care if needed hence the ones that are the screwed are generally the impoverished (like in most situations).I doubt it. aren't we against their abortion stance or something?
I'm prepping my CV right now. Doesn't matter to me. My wife already said she's not getting any more abortions.Blue city in a red state is ideal for many....

many companies are paying up for that type of travel and care already.
If it comes down to Austin vs NYC or SF for PP, I'm still guessing the Austin job is more competitive to get
No place is perfect... I'd take the Bible thumpers in TX (which are probably well outside the PRA's city limits) over the poop patrol in SF any dayI'm prepping my CV right now. Doesn't matter to me. My wife already said she's not getting any more abortions.
I always, and still do, liked Austin. Was thinking of doing film school there. Partly because the burnt orange was a nice break from the road maintenance orange of U Tennessee.No place is perfect... I'd take the Bible thumpers in TX over the poop patrol in SF any day

In terms of homelessness or fecal coliform levels on the street? You might be right on both counts....Austin is changing. but yeah it's still not SF level.

The driving all over the place model for the same pay and benefits as the people who staff the main site all day is untenable. Main site rad onc doesn't want to staff multiple satellites but at the same time they want the volume funneled to them for extra RVU so will be unhappy if the float rad oncs have a ton of patients under beam at 3 different sites that is counting to their production numbers resulting in them outearning the main site docs. Will try to make policies like all SBRT, curative H&N, or even breast with RNI have to be funneled to main site. Puts the chair in a lose-lose position and the commuter positions become high turnover slots for newbies.do you commute far from where you want to live
