I love that this job is recruiting for a "senior position" but also advertising student loan payment and a residency stipend... as if the recruiter could not be bothered to spend even 5 minutes editing their copy paste junk.

$550k sounds decent until you realize it’s middle of nowhere Iowa. This should be a 7 figure job (at least high 6-figure). There’s no way Gas, GI, Rad etc takes a job in Mason City Iowa (27,000 pops) for anything less than $700k base + productivity. However, the current and upcoming resident are so scared of the job market (rightfully so) that when they sign a job that pays 10x their residency salary, ofcourse they feel great about it. That’s why the job survery they do with PGY-5s doesn’t mean much nowadays

After the last ASTRO fiasco and flip-flop with direct supervision, I'm pretty sure Congress wipes their ass with the recommendations from this deeply unserious organizaiton.

Except they didn't. Backtracking was only the public perception, not the reality. APEX certification requires direct supervision.

APEX is optional. CMS rules are not - no practice private or academic can survive without Medicare.

Same with a lot of these upstate NY jobs. Same salary but no takers or nobody willing to stay.

Astro came out eventually and said they accepted virtual/general outside of brachy and sbrt well after acro had and CMS had already ruled years earlier

ASTRO Supervision Work Group recommendations approved by Board - American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) - American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO)

ASTRO’s Supervision Work Group, which included volunteers from academic and private practices, rural and urban settings, and with diverse practice patterns and perspectives, was created to inform ASTRO’s position in response to changes to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS)...

I love this quote:

the instance when the radiation oncologist cannot be on site to provide an in-person OTV, the work group recommends not billing the management code. This protects patients, the involved practices and the specialty.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I’m not going to bill because it protects the specialty. ASTRO can eat ****.

The ASTRO hate persisting is kind of funny to me. I get previously cuz they were full of elitist groups. Who do y'all hate in leadership now? NV who has persistently spoken out about it? CS who has persistently spoken out about it?

Puts on tin foil hat: SDN is actually PPSE docs and private practice owners trying to figure out ways to build profits and attack supply. 5 years from now people will be saying CS is a sell out :dead:.

Just kidding y'all know I love you.

ASTRO said stupid **** within the last year about direct supervision and used appeal to authority arguments to push it with zero data (even though CMS saw no differences between exempt and non exempt places in 2020 when they changed their minds)

They continue to give free passes to protons. You're not making any sense, curb. They are still a no talent organization going nowhere fast. New leadership has to work against some very entrenched inertia against anyone who isn't in academics

They continue to be totally opaque with decisions made by a small group of people.

They nickel and dime trainees.

They are spineless and kowtow to lobby groups such as NAPT, which results in policy decisions that do not match the data.

They mislead; ROCR consolidation pressure, "mucositis prevented by supervision", "two great options for prostate cancer" off negative PartiQoL.

They revise history to hide their bad decisions, including deleting stuff off the internet.

They promote people that exhibit bad behavior to powerful positions.

Those are my reasons. Why do you think ASTRO is good? More importantly, why do you think our field would suffer if ASTRO disappeared? While I wish all of RO could unify under a single society, I am not advocating for that to be clear. Just a question.

For the first time, I am not a member of any society. My job will now pay for one membership. I think I will pick ACRO or the state medical society. I don't think they are substantially better, but they have not done any of the above and are a lot more transparent.

Also, I think they put out some valuable material on policy that makes the <$400 subscription "feel" worth it (compared to ASTROs $700 that comes with basically nothing).

ASTRO has hurt the specialty of radiation oncology, full stop. And especially anyone in private or community practice.

I do not necessarily hate any one individual. However, I do not believe ASTRO represents our specialty. ASTRO's general platform over the last 10 years has damaged our specialty, not helped it. ROCR, supervision, overtraining / expansion, urorads, protons, etc. I would encourage anyone to view ASTRO position statements and draw your own conclusions.

I do not think ASTRO is an evil cabal of malicious individuals. Instead, I think it is an organization led by individuals with immense hubris incapable of self-reflection.

Although I'm sure they would despise the comparison, our dear leaders share this trait in common with the current executive administration.

Not responding to this job specifically but they usually guarantee a high base for the first two years and then the volume does not support the base. You just need to be careful when looking for a job.

Is it frowned upon to ask to see the yearly RVU the previous people were generating?
 
I would initially ask without directly asking. You can ask about how many patients on treatment, number of new starts per year, and case mix. All very generic questions that everyone should be interested in knowing. If they have 10 patients on beam, you know that production will likely be low. Conversely, if they have 35 patients on beam, SBRT, and SRS. You know it will be busy.

No, you just need to ask that kind of question at the appropriate time in the interview process.

The jobs in town here seem to offer a letter of intent, which is kind of like a non-binding final check to ensure it's a realistic fit before everyone starts expending effort negotiating. Around that time but before signing an LOI would be an appropriate time to ask in my opinion.

If they wont tell you, that would be a red flag to me.

Agree. First interview Ok to ask about how many usually under treat....but....

If I were job hunting and got serious, I wouldn't sign unless I saw the last 12-24 months written report of RVU's. Second visit or after letter of intent that would be fine.

"We usually treat around 15 a day" would be doing some heavy lifting in the trust area. I'd rather see the numbers.

It is RVUs and charts. Remember you are taking someone else practice over. You have to deal with their issues. Also, you want to see how breasts/prostates are treated. If everything is 6 to 9 weeks, your RVUs will suffer.

We are happy to provide compensation details to serious applicants, but it's productivity based (no ceiling) and a very busy clinic. Well above this number. Great job for someone looking to work hard and play hard.

$650k+ to live in Madison WI (great city if cold weather isn’t a big deal to you) sounds like a legit gig. I’m assuming the work environment is toxic if they have such a hard time filling the spot?

Ya probably a bait and switch type of situation. Seems like it would be a no brainer for a U of Wisconsin Rad Onc to take that position and the 40 min commute to 2x their salary.
