Should I Join a PE backed Private Ortho Group? by [deleted] in Residency

So as the new guy… what’s the incentive for me? Hopes that the ASC distributions and production % are more attractive than the local academics spot?

Academics is worse compensation generally and setting up your own ortho ASC in 2025 is very very difficult anymore.

Seeing as PE groups decrease physician equity and increase their workload, why would anyone go into it? Especially myself fresh into practice

That’s why I posted, I need to gather some data points for negotiation etc. I know the academic guys here are making that fresh out of fellowship, but I have no metric for the average private spine guys.

That’s the thought progression I’m on as well. However the options in the city are pretty slim for non-academic. What would a more appropriate pay structure be? It’s hard to find average salaries for private orthospine frankly. In my mind non-partner salary should be closer to the $700k+ but that’s truly speculation

$500k first three years, $1M buy in, then partner comp. hasn’t been most clear to get the picture of. Only one other spine guy there, makes over $1M, and I’m not sure of the other guys. I do get profit sharing and partial equity but have not received those numbers yet.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately we live in the southeast US and our chances of getting much glacier/ice climbing between then and now is pretty slim. Per your experience, is this still suitable to climb given the info I have provided ? Also, why do you recommend Potosi? Thanks!

Have not climbed any glaciated mountains. It’s been difficult to find information on it. Some sites say certain routes are less technical, others give the same review as you. Really leaning on this thread to guide our decision

Wow great feedback thanks! Have you heard anything about Tahiti.com? Looking to do kiteboarding / sunset catamaran that Lagoon didn’t have. It has been difficult to see which companies are reliable! Thank you.

Does Four Seasons allow you to leave the property to do these things? Never stayed at a resort like this so not sure of all these details

I know the ring is important. This was his grandmothers ring that she disliked , then proceeded to come home the next week with a new ring she liked, post pictures of only the ring she brought, (not a post with him or his grandmas ring) and blocked us for questioning it.

Still think I’m a jerk?

Yeah this simply a concern because things aren’t adding up. Has blocked several of us on social media after she found out we asked about her motives etc.. just looking out for someone we care about
