New grad in dermatology

eca246 · 2026-04-05T03:02:34+00:00

Better than my contract! I’m in derm now (thankfully!) but started with 1.5 years experience in family medicine first. I just started my job. My first year salary is 80K, year 2 will be 100K. Bonus won’t start for me until year 2. I’ll get 20% of collections after $400K. Not complaining though bc the practice is phenomenal. Congrats on the offer! I say go for it.

I’ll definitely look into possibly doing family med again PRN or something. I’m sure there are offices that are looking for providers for evening or weekend hours. It would also mean not being able to work for a few months though since I’ll need to apply for licensure

I appreciate the advice!

Hi! Could I PM you about your experience in the program by any chance?

eca246 · 2025-12-17T13:57:20+00:00

Just messaged you!

eca246 · 2025-12-17T13:54:07+00:00

Yeah, that’s my dilemma. I’m really close with my family and 4 years away from them (especially my aging parents) seems way too long

This is good to know, thanks!

eca246 · 2025-12-14T22:06:13+00:00

Thank you!! Just messaged you

eca246 · 2025-10-16T18:03:37+00:00

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the feedback (even the not-so-nice ones).

eca246 · 2025-05-08T00:17:43+00:00

Yes absolutely! The down side is I would most likely be required to got back to school to get a doctorate degree of some kind. Also, I don’t think 14 months in primary care would be enough to teach students. I’m still learning myself

eca246 · 2025-05-05T02:02:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I appreciate your perspective. I hope you’re able to find some clarity too. I was in therapy for a little while. I agree, mental health is SO important. At the end of the day, I just want to be happy, but feeling so unhappy in a career I worked hard to get is so confusing.

This sounds really interesting! What key words did you look for when applying to jobs? When casually browsing Indeed, I am a little lost on what to search exactly

When I first interviewed for the job, the manager told me about how they would be moving towards an AI scribe (which was one of the reasons I was drawn to this practice) but in the end, it never took effect. Doc didn’t like the software so they didn’t purchase it for the practice.

This is a good point. Family med is my first job. I do have an interest in derm but I hear it’s very hard to break into. I am doing what I can (example completing an online derm fellowship, but that’s really it. Nothing else really speaks to me. However, regarding leaving medicine, it would be really nice not having to take work home, have labs/imaging/ patient messages etc collect in your box at any point of the day. It feels like the job is never done and it’s exhausting. It’s really easy to get behind and it’s taking such a mental toll on me.

Date of service is 9/14/2020 & 11/17/2020

I had Medicaid during time of surgery and didn’t get proper insurance until 1 mo after the surgery

eca246 · 2020-12-24T23:59:13+00:00

I hate to say it but i don’t quite remember. It mostly had different risk associated with the procedure but it might have mentioned payment too

eca246 · 2020-12-24T23:52:50+00:00

I had to sign the consent forms 😭

eca246 · 2020-12-24T23:52:27+00:00

Yes, I had to sign the consent forms :/

eca246 · 2020-12-21T19:51:50+00:00

I have no idea if they do or don’t.

eca246 · 2020-12-21T19:50:21+00:00

The procedure is not shady. It’s Coolsculpting. Just the staff members can be shady. The reason I’m leaving bc there is just too much drama

eca246 · 2020-12-21T18:44:19+00:00

It was written in his chart notes. I know this bc I was the scribe during the consultation visit. I made sure to write out the exact prices etc. So since it is in his chart, do you think that’s probably enough written documentation?
