That sounds awful and correct.
Agreed.
I'm not too familiar with OneOncology. Only interviewed with one of their practices and was turned off by some financial guy from OneOncology at the interview.
There are NE academic centers with better starting salary. Is that’s a joke?
Do they not believe you when you say they are being fleeced? Or do they think this is the standard rate and that everybody else gets around the same rate? Or do they think they receive other benefits at their institution that offsets the $66? Just wondering.
Academic jobs may offer no rvu bonus or something very tiny. 25-40$.
55 - 70 range is basically what hybrid practice will pay in the Northeast unfortunately and probably in California as well. The only way to do very specialized practice though is in those types of groups, without other major academic requirements, so people trade that off. Also getting to work with fellows/residents/medical students in a teaching setting and doing some research if you want to. There are definitely other jobs that let you do all of that also to different extents, but you have to look and inquire about specifics. Most private practices do not want you spending time in clinic explaining the nuances of FOLFOX to a fellow.
My experience is that when "City of Hope" previously named as "Cancer Treatment Centers of America" - usually the physicians that I dealt with in my zone were very shady, not sure if they are left outs that did not get any meaningful employment elsewhere. Never communicated and very ethically questionable practice at times. Perhaps the allure of living close to metro cities with decent comp for people not able to find a job in that area is the factor.
Big city or small town?
