I'm finishing residency this june and have 5 potential job options to choose from. Which one should I choose?

First, a little about me. I'm a resident in Chicago and I plan on continue living in downtown Chicago for at least 5-10 years. I like teaching residents, med students, but I also like being able to see most of my patients independently. Compensation is important as well as having benefits/retirement provided.

I would choose the one in downtown Chicago that has a high salary, good benefits and a retirement package.

What are your job offers like? You sound like you would be suited to the secondary teaching site of a residency in which you see most of the patients yourself with some ancillary help from residents. This is a good sort of "academic" job to have fresh out of residency because it allows you to develop your style as an attending doing hands-on work. As an attending, despite the fact that you will be competent in all procedures when you graduate from an EM residency, you will rise to the level of expertise when you have continued to refine your practice with the training wheels off.
