Oral pharmaceuticals are a whole different ball game with much better margins if you have the insurance contracts to dispense drug in house. No need for chemo nurses or infusion chair overhead...

Happy if true. Training programs can’t expand as easily if they don’t have faculty.
The rich in coastal states can use pass-through entities like partnerships, S-corps to avoid the SALT cap whereas w2 workers in NY, MA, CA are stuck paying high state and federal taxes.

Especially with the new criteria increasing the ratio to 1.5:1 faculty to residents.
I still do not understand if and/or how these will be enforced. No one has really given a clear answer on that other than it's going to take a bit because the rules phase in and it's hard to enforce things with GME.
I also wonder if it's so difficult to expand faculty. It still seems to be the case that people will sign contracts with very low pay and other features that are not ideal.
You know, supply and demand and all that.
This is what frustrates me the most. None of this is available to me and yet people making less that are self employed will walk away with even more take home pay. State doesn’t get the revenue they want…take in more debt and add yet another surcharge on top of their progressive income taxes to make it work out.
Hail to the glory of the S corp.
Got this one by email today described as a "Midwest Rad Onc Position"
My recent favorites are "180-220$ an hour for locums in (nowheresville)!!" or "Immediate licensing, 10k a week! for placeyoudontwannago!"
Lol. $375/hr, 15k a week or, you know, # sand
Remember the crypto cheer... "ape together strong"
Yeah i saw a $220/hr posting recently. 👎👎

curious where this is.
Its in purgatory...
But seriously, I'm sure it's in a super awesome place within this circle like Chicago, Ann Arbor, or Minneapolis. There is no way it could possibly be in a completely rural and isolated area. The recruiters are trying to stop a stampede of applicants if they prematurely reveal how awesome the location is.
You can’t get a job within 2 hours of any city in rad onc.

Ah, I saw the location, but can’t come up with it. It is not Ann Arbor or Chicago.
And yet, if you learn to fly, this matters much less. Enjoy double the pay, half the headache administratively, and bonus.. you can tell everyone you're a pilot.
This is the (only) way.
The other way is to have more by wanting less. Won't take me long to Molotov cocktail my career. In a good way I mean. The over the shoulder while walking away Molotov cocktail.
I’ve seen enough doctor pilots burn alive and sometimes take their families with them. No thanks
sarcasm?
I know of jobs right now paying mgma within 1-2 hours of major metros. Best job market we have seen in years, post pandemic

Rad onc is not healthy and neither is the market for rad oncs. If it is, the reasons are far less glamourous. Pushing out an old overpaid MD for 2 new grads OR you aren’t doing evidence based practice.
Yes, historically, the "doctor as pilot" mantra may have run true. But it often comes down to poor attitudes, poor training, and poor decision making.
Speaking as someone who has flown 18 years.. with over 2000 hours.. those deficiencies can be found amongst any hard charging group.
And, for what its worth, you can just as easily die driving to work if you have the same deficiencies.. or just bad luck.
BTW, just how many doctors have you seen burned alive? I haven't seen any. But I do read Kathryn's report and am very familiar with my own aircraft model's history.
Two. Both with their families. One on staff and one from my training program.
Probably about 3 close calls. In one the guy was up with his daughter and took the plane off autopilot resulting in stall.
I think an analysis of each of those would help shed light on whether what I highlighted was actually the problem. There are plenty of car drivers who don't pay attention and result in deaths of others, or who speed recklessly, or drive too fast for the conditions, or whatever.
The question is: how do you ensure appropriate risk management? Some people are just afraid to fly, and thats fine, but the best way to get over that is to learn how to do it. Properly.
Flying is physics in 3 dimensions, car driving is in 2. Its the decisions and attitudes around the activity that generate the results.

Genuine question, do we know that this year? I've heard it's strong, but only from a few people that are at big programs. That doesn't mean much. Im curious what others have heard.
I've got a small n to work with but compared with 2018 to esp 2020, it sounds better both in terms of starting salaries and geography. The caveat is that these are all hospital employed jobs. PP is few and far between and almost exclusively word of mouth still with existing docs having an advantage over new grads in terms of lateraling in.
Locums also sounds better in terms of daily rates than what was seen at that time
Oh i agree... Still nothing like 2001-2012 for finding 2/3 with lots of options, still think it's subjectively better than what i saw at the bottom of and immediately prior to the covid pandemic. I do think covid may have been a boomer remover as far as the job market goes, but obviously no way to prove that
Locums is where its at. First, you can negotiate upfront. Second, if for long term you can determine if its a good fit and if mutual, third you can then get them to become highly motivated to meet your requirements (and you know what they are paying if you leave). You have a lot of leverage to leave. Its the only time you'll have this much leverage. Consider:
If you're getting 2800 a day as a locums (672k 1099 no bennies) then the agency is getting at least another 30%. How about you hire me direct for 750k and throw in 4-5 weeks of vacation coverage and we'll split the diff and everyone wins?

this is reality if you wanna work in a desirable place not everyone can go work 2 hours away from civilization never thought i would even think about accepting a job that pay less than a hospitalist.
What a shame
What a shame
Job in NY btw if anyone is interested lol

This is disgusting. Even Gas and Derm easily exceed 400 in desirable locales and they generate nowhere near what Rads does.
Supply and demand… solution: increase supply with more grads and decrease demand with less utilization. Add protons and decrease reimbursements on top of that.
Completely normal FT salary for NYC / Boston / Philly. They haven’t changed much since late 2000’s
Not surprised.... Sf, nyc, Boston etc. Enjoy being a renter for life
have good friend who is a doc in southern california. told me he needs to spend at least 1.5 mil for a reasonable house within 25-30 min of his main site. he can also go to the beach multiple times per week and ragged on me because he is wearing shorts right now while i am in a parka.
1.55mm in Los Angeles gets you a broke ass home with steel bar windows, bums on your doorstep, and their discarded heroin needles on your lawn. You may even be lucky enough to have BLM rioters trying to burn your place down
Lol happy to live in SF/Bos/LA/NYC and rent forever. I’ve trained/worked in not those places and the trade off is worth it (for me personally, I’m sure 80% rightly disagree)
But with GPCI, Medicare payments are higher in those geographies too (not enough to make up COL difference, but still.) Insane that some places can get away with offering those salaries and no real upward potential….

Going to look on guidestar to see if Michael steinberg - or lou- was able to bump his million dollar salary from a few years ago.
If you're at the apex, life be good.
If you're showing up now... unless you are a master boot licker... lol.

If you guys don't mind working in deeply rural areas, @sirspamalot may hook you up with a ride on his private jet to SF/Bos/LA/NYC for fun times. But . . .
You really do. And no jet.. yet. But that shiny VLJ is beckoning.. 370 kts at 41k? Come to daddy..
I thought he was making 2-3 mill?
Harrison is downright impoverished compared with the other 2.
Dude I was on Zillow. Town I grew up in. 900K for a 1000sqft Reno. A ****ing reno!! And Ofcourse the town is very successful and keeping out any development you know anything that might actually help people get into a home. I think what’s gonna happen is eventually the situation is gonna get so bad that the state or federal government will start to supersede town rules
Plus recently demoted, but oddly stayed on as faculty. Usually most would skedaddle fairly quickly after that
Why demoted?
He always struck me as very aggressive.
