Physician Employment Contract Basics
Course Overview
Over the past decade or so, there has been an increase in physician employment around Massachusetts and the nation due to the increasing complexities of running a medical practice because of the overwhelming administrative, legislative and regulatory demands that disproportionately burden physicians, especially independent physicians. As more and more physicians enter into these employment contracts, it is more important than ever for physicians to have an understanding of the basic contract considerations to have when being recruited. However, financial and business courses such as employment contract considerations are not typically offered in medical school and residency programs, resulting in a gap of knowledge pertaining to employment contracts and financial considerations.
Course Objectives
- Identify key components of employment contracts that could affect successful employment and practice.
- Understand differing models for physician employment and compensation.
- Integrate quality metrics and other contractual requirements into clinical practice.
