Unfortunately, we get almost no information on contract negogiations in our residency. Where can I find a primer?
A few questions:
1. From what you've heard, what is the average starting salary for general ophthalmologists? I know this will vary geographically.
2. What is the average time to partnership?
3. Production bonus - I assume this is some percentage of your total billings above a certain amount. What is the normal range? ie, 20% of total billable or 40%???
4. What's the difference between partnership and purchase option (looking at the AAO)?
5. Practice info - what should I look for financially/surgically?
-percentage overhead - what is efficient
-ASC
-good "starting" numbers for phacos/year
-call - usually split equally or bottom dependent?
-normal paid vacation/cme
-etc.
any other advice for the clueless...
thanks.
