[silentreader]

Hello, Everyone,

Just had my first interview for rheum job in a remote small community hospital, hospital employee. hospital 100 beds running by hospitalist. One main campus clinic, 4 affiliated clinics. One rheumatologist already established in main campus and one affiliated clinic. If I join, I will do outpatient in two clinics. One infusion center in main campus, supervised by hematology, plan to open two infusion centers in another 2 clinics where I will see patients and supervised by me.

No inpatient consult, no night call and weekend call.

Guaranteed first two year salary 250k. Starting from third year, salary based on RVU. One RVU is 80% of national average of one RVU.

Is this a good offer or not?

Thanks

Not rheum, but seems pretty decent for an employed position.

I asked what is the dollars per wRVU? They did not answer.

36 hours clinic, 4 hours paper work. At least 4.5 days

Like Athens area?

They couldn’t tell you what the compensation formula is after your guarantee is over? Red flag...

Thanks. The two clinics are one hour far away. Seems like 2 hours on high way everyday

Well that’s one thing but the dollars per rvu is another. If someone paid me $90/wRVU to drive one hour I would have to consider it.

If they don’t want to tell you then I wouldn’t take the job purely out of distrust. Every contract I was ever given had very clear formula for compensation. The only time I would let it go is if you didn’t want to stay there longterm and just wanted to slack off for two years making good money.

Lol then they better figure it out. This is like walking into a closing deal for a house and saying “well I know what I would pay for a downtown loft but I don’t know what I would pay for this one. So... take the down payment and why don’t you just sign the house over to me and I’ll figure out the rest of the price later.”
