Contract Non-Renewal
I am in a bit of a predicament. I completed my first year of residency. I was failed on 2 rotations. Despite passing the repeat rotation, my program director asked me to repeat my intern year. I complied and am in the process of repeating my intern year. I was failed on yet another rotation. They placed me in academic probation. I have gone through probation and feel as if I am going to be let go. I have not failed another rotation. I have passed all my rotations on probation. I feel like...

Anesthesia/pain jobs in PP
Anyone work a private practice job where they do both anesthesia and pain? I realize it is rare, but if anyone does it I'd be interested to know where you work and what your setup/contract was like. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Cost for reading PET/CTs
Our group is looking at purchasing a PET/CT and I’m wondering a couple things:
1. Does NM read both the PET and CT portions of the imaging?
2. What is the ballpark cost (per study) to read a standard PET/CT if we were to contract with a NM group? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Locums questions
Hi All,
I would appreciate any input from the group in regards to locum experiences and contacts. I recent found a position that fits me well through a locums group. However when I received the contract it spoke about if I get a take a permanent job with the company they get 25% of my first years salary including bonuses, this is also triggered if I take a job with in 15 miles of the location of the employer. I would not be concerned but this is a major city. Is this normal for locums and...

MCAT retake?
Hi all -
I am currently sitting on 3WL and planning my reap in case I need to do that. I applied MD this year with 3.63cGPA and 3.56sGPA and a 511 MCAT (126/130/127/128). Since my first application, I have added 350 hours paid EMT work and 2000 hours of paid research. Starting in July when my job contract ends, I plan to start working a clinical job part time and spending the rest of my time volunteering in my community.
Due to my mediocre stats, I am debating an MCAT retake. When I...

VA contract
For those of you with VA positions, how long did it take to get a contract? How long was it before your start date?
I got offered a position back in February and I'm supposed to start August 2nd. I still haven't gotten a contract or heard anything from credentialing. HR has everything they need.
I'm currently on internship that ends July 16, so it isn't a huge deal, but super anxiety provoking nonetheless. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help regarding practice aquisition
Hi everyone,
I'm about a year into my first post-residency private practice job. I've really enjoyed my first year of work as an employed/non-partner track comprehensive ophthalmologist.
Unfortunately, my boss/owner is selling the practice, probably as an asset sale, but maybe as an equity sale. I like some of the potential buyers, but not all of them.
My question is: what is the likelihood that my contract will require me to stay on with the new owner, if this is an asset sale? I have a...

malpractice, tail, and working in multiple states
Hi, all--Question about malpractice, tail coverage, and working in multiple states (that you are licensed in).
Here's my situation. Looking at a contract, have not signed. Says they don't provide tail. I protest, director comes up with a % of tail they will cover, will cover 100% if I stay for 2 years. Ok, don't love it, but my question is not about whether I should love this.
Job entails work in state A, which is my primary state and where I am licensed. Job also entails some tele work in...

Licensure Question: Can I count hours training a private practice?
Hi Folks, I'm a 3rd year counseling psych PhD student in Massachusetts. I have completed my prac and advanced prac at official training sites. I have an opportunity to train with an excellent psychologist in private practice. Am I able to count *private practice* training hours towards licensure?

Thoughts on stamps?
Hi all, I'm finishing up residency and have signed a contract to begin work as an attending at an inpatient psych unit. Overall, I'm quite excited. I wanted to ask -- I was thinking about making a stamp with my name and relevant numbers, for the convenience. Firstly, is it even necessary to have a name, NPI number, DEA, etc. in the form of a stamp? If so, do I put my DEA # in there? I was thinking something like:
Name
NPI #
License #
DEA # (don't know if I should put this or not)
Thoughts...
