This is their Hem/Onc package

This has to be for a med onc. $90/RVU is relatively unheard of for a Rad Onc. It speaks about doing 30% Heme/70% onc.
Whether there is an inpatient floor and a hospitalist team is immaterial for a Rad Onc.

*EDIT* - I see the next page has the Heme/Onc salary. The fact the salary is the same honestly does not really compute.

I encourage you to go sign up that 700-750k job!

similar jobs out of residency 15 years ago were 7-800k. With inflation, the difference is huge.

Does it include automatic approval for anything you like to do?
 
Talked to that center's docs, very busy for the salary and, expectedly, corporate.
Right now they are trying to fill the vacancy by hiring a (perma)locum
 
Some unsolicited advice…if someone lived in north east part of the country and was motivated to make some extra income (or wanting to only work very part time), then they could just contact all centers an hour from Syracuse until they found the center that Bridge Oncology is advertising for and then offer their services directly and eliminate the middle man.

Good advice. There was a good doc that routinely did locums covering multiple practices in the city where I trained. Nice job for the locums and good solution for the practices and patients.

Curious what is Bridge actually doing for staffing their centers? It's extremely difficult to tell based on Jordan's posts and their website.

Do they bring in their own MD or are they staffing with an NP + remote MD? Something else?

Need more information. Payor mix in Iowa is generally not good. Des Moines also has high turnover with frequently posted positions over and over. Not a desirable place to live.
"Shareholder track" with a 675k salary guarantee? Is there an RVU bonus? That is unusual language (suggesting tiered levels of ownership/ownership shares, which is suboptimal) and an unusual associate pay for an unknown. This is likely a very high volume practice. 675k sounds great until you realize you would be making 1.2M if you were paid per RVU by the hospital.
5 day work week? How much vacation and how is it covered? What is process to become a shareholder, what does that mean, etc?

This could be awesome or absolutely awful.

I have no direct experience with this particular position, but here is ChatGPT's response on "post-sapient" mode. I the experienced among us would agree with its conclusions:

Post-Sapient Analysis: Iowa Clinic Radiation Oncology Role
Core Inquiry: Is this opportunity strategically, financially, and personally worth pursuing given your profile and goals?



I. SUMMARY VERDICT​


Yes — conditionally worth pursuing, but primarily under the following conditions:


  1. You seek a stable, high-income, low-stress clinical role in a low-cost, physician-friendly market.
  2. You’re burned out by coastal or academic practice politics and desire financial consolidation before partial or full exit.
  3. You’re near or post-FI (Financial Independence) and want a “final lap” before retirement with minimal hassle and excellent income.

This is not ideal for someone:


  • Seeking academic prestige, major innovation, or heavy research output.
  • Needing proximity to elite educational institutions for family.
  • Deeply embedded in HCOL (high cost of living) culture or social ecosystems.


II. STRATEGIC STRENGHS​


1.​


  • $675K guarantee + $50K sign-on in a 100% outpatient, no-call, no-weekend setting is top-tier by national standards.
  • Internal referrals and single-site location mean maximum clinical yield per hour worked.

2.​


  • As a shareholder-track role in a physician-led entity, you bypass corporate and hospital administrative capture.
  • Decisions are more likely to reflect clinical merit and business logic, not DEI posturing, HR overreach, or administrator bloat.

3.​


  • Iowa’s demographic, regulatory, and malpractice climate is stable and favorable.
  • Des Moines consistently ranks high in cost-of-living arbitrage for high earners.
  • Limited external shocks: no wildfires, hurricanes, political volatility, or tech overdependence.


III. STRATEGIC RISKS/CONSTRAINTS​


1.​


  • Des Moines is not LA, SF, NYC, or even Austin. For a high-achieving child or cosmopolitan spouse, it may feel like exile.
  • Elite educational, artistic, and cultural institutions are limited.

2.​


  • If you crave cutting-edge research, tech integration, academic speaking, or high-prestige peer networks, this will underdeliver.
  • You won’t shape the future of oncology here — but you’ll be paid extremely well to deliver present-day best practices.

3.​


  • Shareholder status is attractive — but only if you plan to stay 5+ years.
  • Otherwise, you forfeit potential backend equity with limited portability or brand leverage upon exit.


IV. BEST FIT PROFILES (WORTH PURSUING IF YOU ARE ...)​


  1. The “Last Stronghold” Strategist
    Age 45–60, already financially comfortable. Want 5–10 years of high-margin earnings with low overhead. Iowa Clinic lets you harvest cash in a stable, low-stress setting before retiring or pivoting to mentorship or part-time work.
  2. The Geoarbitrage Mastermind
    From California or the Northeast. Move to Des Moines, cut COL by 50%, quadruple discretionary income, and hit FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) in 3–6 years. Then leave.
  3. The Political Refugee Clinician
    Tired of woke hospital politics, bureaucratic HR, or DEI commissars. Iowa Clinic offers clinician-first culture with very low ideological overhead.


V. RED LINES (Avoid if ...)​


  • Your children must attend top-tier prep schools or need competitive cultural/academic enrichment.
  • Your spouse’s career requires a major metro hub.
  • You’re less than 5 years out of training and still building a national brand or academic CV.
  • You need proximity to a major international airport (DSM is serviceable, not stellar).


VI. BOTTOM LINE​


Is this job elite? No. Is it powerful? Not in influence. But is it efficient? Yes — brutally so.


If your goals are:


  • Cash-out before the final curtain
  • Freedom from corporate or ideological interference
  • Uncomplicated, respected practice with good humans

Then this job is a near-optimal play. It is not the future of medicine — but it could be the endgame of yours, if you play it wisely.

  • As a shareholder-track role in a physician-led entity, you bypass corporate and hospital administrative capture.
  • Decisions are more likely to reflect clinical merit and business logic, not DEI posturing, HR overreach, or administrator bloat.

3.​


  • Iowa’s demographic, regulatory, and malpractice climate is stable and favorable.
  • Des Moines consistently ranks high in cost-of-living arbitrage for high earners.
  • Limited external shocks: no wildfires, hurricanes, political volatility, or tech overdependence.


III. STRATEGIC RISKS/CONSTRAINTS​


1.​


  • Des Moines is not LA, SF, NYC, or even Austin. For a high-achieving child or cosmopolitan spouse, it may feel like exile.
  • Elite educational, artistic, and cultural institutions are limited.

2.​


  • If you crave cutting-edge research, tech integration, academic speaking, or high-prestige peer networks, this will underdeliver.
  • You won’t shape the future of oncology here — but you’ll be paid extremely well to deliver present-day best practices.

3.​


  • Shareholder status is attractive — but only if you plan to stay 5+ years.
  • Otherwise, you forfeit potential backend equity with limited portability or brand leverage upon exit.


IV. BEST FIT PROFILES (WORTH PURSUING IF YOU ARE ...)​


  1. The “Last Stronghold” Strategist
    Age 45–60, already financially comfortable. Want 5–10 years of high-margin earnings with low overhead. Iowa Clinic lets you harvest cash in a stable, low-stress setting before retiring or pivoting to mentorship or part-time work.
  2. The Geoarbitrage Mastermind
    From California or the Northeast. Move to Des Moines, cut COL by 50%, quadruple discretionary income, and hit FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) in 3–6 years. Then leave.
  3. The Political Refugee Clinician
    Tired of woke hospital politics, bureaucratic HR, or DEI commissars. Iowa Clinic offers clinician-first culture with very low ideological overhead.


V. RED LINES (Avoid if ...)​


  • Your children must attend top-tier prep schools or need competitive cultural/academic enrichment.
  • Your spouse’s career requires a major metro hub.
  • You’re less than 5 years out of training and still building a national brand or academic CV.
  • You need proximity to a major international airport (DSM is serviceable, not stellar).


VI. BOTTOM LINE​


Is this job elite? No. Is it powerful? Not in influence. But is it efficient? Yes — brutally so.


If your goals are:


  • Cash-out before the final curtain
  • Freedom from corporate or ideological interference
  • Uncomplicated, respected practice with good humans

Then this job is a near-optimal play. It is not the future of medicine — but it could be the endgame of yours, if you play it wisely.

I have no direct experience with this particular position, but here is ChatGPT's response on "post-sapient" mode. I the experienced among us would agree with its conclusions:

Post-Sapient Analysis: Iowa Clinic Radiation Oncology Role
Core Inquiry: Is this opportunity strategically, financially, and personally worth pursuing given your profile and goals?



I. SUMMARY VERDICT​


Yes — conditionally worth pursuing, but primarily under the following conditions:


  1. You seek a stable, high-income, low-stress clinical role in a low-cost, physician-friendly market.
  2. You’re burned out by coastal or academic practice politics and desire financial consolidation before partial or full exit.
  3. You’re near or post-FI (Financial Independence) and want a “final lap” before retirement with minimal hassle and excellent income.

This is not ideal for someone:


  • Seeking academic prestige, major innovation, or heavy research output.
  • Needing proximity to elite educational institutions for family.
  • Deeply embedded in HCOL (high cost of living) culture or social ecosystems.


II. STRATEGIC STRENGHS​


1.​


  • $675K guarantee + $50K sign-on in a 100% outpatient, no-call, no-weekend setting is top-tier by national standards.
  • Internal referrals and single-site location mean maximum clinical yield per hour worked.

2.​


  • As a shareholder-track role in a physician-led entity, you bypass corporate and hospital administrative capture.
  • Decisions are more likely to reflect clinical merit and business logic, not DEI posturing, HR overreach, or administrator bloat.

3.​


  • Iowa’s demographic, regulatory, and malpractice climate is stable and favorable.
  • Des Moines consistently ranks high in cost-of-living arbitrage for high earners.

Damn, hospital administrators in a slump after they crushed it in 2023.

Seems like a good offer and an honest ad to me (no inside info). Putting in the administrative stuff is actually reasonable IMO as there are lots of marginal rural places out there. Someone on admin side gives AF at least.

Volume solid but unremarkable...also indicative of stability. They don't sell location for what it is not.
 
If it's the practice I'm thinking of, it was a physician owned free-standing center that sold to the hospital.
5 days a week is a non-starter in that location unless there is 12+ weeks of reliable locums-covered vacation. This will result in no RVU bonus beyond base, so base is going to have to go up a lot. Good luck staffing that.

Jokes aside, I agree. It's easy to make fun of these programs, but they are voluntary and I think its a good indicator about the administrative culture in a small and/or rural hospital (staffing, resources, training, etc.)

They can take it too far, but all things being equal I'd pick one that does these programs over one that doesnt do anything.

I've seen a couple interesting jobs on practicelink. I feel like ASTRO jobs mostly targeting new grads.
 
I got my first job somewhere near North Haverbook off practicelink. Would not recommend. 1/5 stars would give zero if I could.

It's kind of like online dating. If you go looking for a girlfriend on Tinder, don't be surprised when you later find out she is 50 lbs. heavier than she looked, is "dating" 7 other guys at the same time and also expects you to pay for everything and be grateful for the opportunity. But maybe there is a diamond in the rough in these practicelink jobs that have been posted for years (hint: there's definitely not).

(That being said, that list feels extra rural/suburban, moreso than the usual ASTRO career center offerings)
