Do Contract Reviews Work?

November 27, 2024September 6, 2016 by Justin Nabity

Contract reviews can be expensive. Do contract reviews work?

We define anticipation as a feeling of excitement about something that is going to happen. Or the act of preparing for something. On average, physicians spend at least 10 years in training and preparing to step into their career. When that day finally comes you’re presented with a 10–30 page document outlining and describing in great detail the minutia of the offer. Read more to learn about contract reviews!

In most cases, comparing the awareness level of what’s actually included in the contract or isn’t included, is a bit lopsided. On one side of the table is the health care organization or practice with their team of attorneys and on the other side of the table is, you. Being presented with the offer usually leads to many different emotions. All in the midst of trying to evaluate the compensation, benefits, implications, ramifications and details of a legal document.

The majority of physicians who interview and then get presented with a job offer and contract usually feel that they either can’t negotiate, shouldn’t negotiate, or that there really aren’t areas for negotiation, that the offer is what it is.

What Do You Do About Your Job When Your Life Changes?

June 27, 2024July 18, 2016 by Justin Nabity

Job and Life Changes

There are so many ways your life can take a turn, a change in direction. Which sends you down an entirely different path than you were going on. What do you do with your job when this happens? You might’ve launched your career years ago and have built up a great patient base with the years ahead looking bright because of all the hard work put in.

It could be a management or ownership change that impacts the culture where the environment goes from being “the work you enjoy” to “the work that pays the bills.” In other cases it might be a business change which impacts reimbursements. Or how you are compensated. These are the risks of being in the business world and we are all susceptible to them.

What about a scenario where the needs of your family change. When you joined the practice you might have been single. Then got married. Had a couple of kids. Both spouses may be working and that family support which you didn’t need now becomes a “top-of-the-list” concern. How do you pivot at that point?

Advancing Toward Your Career Goals

June 27, 2024June 15, 2016 by Justin Nabity

Should you change jobs in pursuit of them? Or position yourself in a new way at work?

Provided by Nick Schneider

Is your career unfolding as it should?

If not, maybe it is time for a change; either a change of jobs, or a change in your role at your workplace.

Pay attention to the signals of a stalled career.

If the status quo at your office bothers you, or if you feel apathetic or nonchalant about your work, you have company.

A recent Aon Hewitt poll found that only 63% of employees felt sufficiently engaged on the job. According to a Gallup poll, even fewer Americans truly like what they do for a living: just 32% of employees are “involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace.”¹

If you dream of an escape and doing just enough to avoid getting fired, you have three basic avenues

One, go into business for yourself (a move that is impractical and terribly risky for most people).

Two, change jobs.

Three, see if you can make yourself more valuable and more engaged where you are.
