Can some one with real attending experience please give an example of what a decent new grad practice opportunity should entail? California specific info would be especially nice. I know there will be tremendous variability, but what are average annual incomes for new grads, time to partnership tract, amount of buy-in, average call responsibility, average daily workload, benefits, etc. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Generally the larger groups have longer partnership tracks in my experience. Around 2 yrs some more some less. Buy-ins should not be very much since anesthesia doesn't have alot of operating expenses. You may need to buy into a office lease and staff. I think that amounted to about 15K with my last group. There are various ways to practice. Some groups will cover everything and distribute the cases on a daily basis with all collections going to the group and pay is divided among the partners after all the expenses. Others will have the members of the group do their own cases and billing etc. Both are good and bad. It depends on the group dynamics.
Its really hard to describe how groups work here because there are so many different styles of practice. Income is also variable as well. It depends on insurance, case type, practice setup, re-imbursement, and on and on. I guess the best thing to do is to interview alot and get a feel for how the groups you interview with are setup. Then if you have questions post them here for some more directed answers.
