Partnership and the New Doctor
The Perfect Job Awaits
Flying home after a promising job interview, you're on the brink of completing your final year in medical or surgical training. The stars seem to have aligned: perfect location, excellent pay, and the practice style you desire. Even better, it's on a partnership track. It's all falling into place.
But hold on?"get ready for some turbulence.
Set Your Expectations
You're probably thinking: "I'll earn as much as the senior partners, enjoy the same perks, and have job security. My voice and vote will count equally."
But it's crucial to shift your mindset. Here’s what you should be considering:
- Years to Partnership: How long will it take?"one year or five?
- Buy-In Details: Is there a buy-in? What are the costs and how is it structured?
- Partnership Structure: Are there different classes of stock or partnership levels?
- Partnership Benefits: What do you gain and what happens if you decide to leave?
- Buy-Out Terms: If there's a buy-out, how is the practice valued?
- Package Disparities: Will your total package differ from other partners?
- Offer Contingencies: What could prevent you from being offered partnership?
- Voting Power: How many partners are there, and does your vote carry weight?
Remember, partnerships often include clauses detailing conditions for both partnership offers and termination. It's essential to understand these terms thoroughly.
Investigate Before You Commit
Don't dismiss the idea of partnership just yet. Instead, dig deeper:
- Consult Recent Partners: Were the offers as promised? Any unexpected changes?
- Track Records: Has anyone been denied partnership after being on a track, and why?
- Departed Members: Speak with former group members to understand their reasons for leaving.
- Legal Advice: Consult an attorney to grasp what partnership entails for you compared to others. Your lawyer may also have insights into the group's reputation.
Understand the Risks
Know that partnership value varies across practice types. In an anesthesia group solely reliant on hospital contracts, losing such a contract could render your partnership negligible.
Evaluate if you're financially better off opting for an earlier, higher salary with no partnership versus a gradual increase with a deferred partnership offer. Consider this: a five-year path to partnership may offer incremental salary increases, whereas a straight $225,000 without partnership could be more advantageous.
Conclusion
In my 17 years of practice, I've encountered more cautionary tales than success stories regarding partnerships. Approach this decision with diligence, especially if partnership is a pivotal factor in your choice.
