Did Not Match - Best Next Step
Transitional year vs. prelim (IM, fam med, etc.) vs. categorical (IM, fam med, etc.). Which one will make it easier to enter a psychiatry residency as a PGY-2?

But since this hospital is close to where my son goes to elementary school and my house, I figured I would look into who has the new contract and who is covering it.
I actually know of the new np grad who is doing it, so I as her "who is this dr x that is signing your notes? I've...

The Most Ridiculous Contract Clauses You've Ever Seen

Language in a IC physician contract that requires the IC to reimburse the staffing company for all taxes, penalties, and interest that the IRS or state may levy against the staffing company in the future due to regulatory or legal changes that result in them reclassifying the IC as an employee...
