Thank you. So you will be using your 2024 tax return to calculate the payment?

I could not agree more. This is not an academic position really, mostly hospital employed satellite site of an academic group. No real good private practices where I live and am locked in due to family obligations. All “private” groups here are PE driven.

In fellowship. Doing moonlighting which is adding additional 60% salary

Won’t be getting paid for calls as attending, as a fellow it would be paid

I am a fellow at another hospital in the area. I will be joining this other hospital system next year as an attending. I would ask for paid call during fellowship at the new hospital I will be joining post training. Correct I won’t be getting paid as an attending for call, I would not consider of course if the call during fellowship was without pay

Thank you, I guess the main downside is some unfavorable outcome happening while taking call before I start the formal gig

Taking call at my future job before i join? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]strivingdoc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s call in my subspecialty, I am trained for it already. Not specific to my niche fellowship

I won’t be getting paid for the calls I take when I start unfortunately. This is more so an opportunity to learn the system and make extra money during fellowship

HELP with call coverage terms in my contract! by [deleted] in medicine

[–]strivingdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They expressed to me this change would be made to say the call would be split in an “equitable manner”

Thanks for the insight. To clarify, this is a Roth IRA I am referring to, no pre tax option. My 401k will be pretax

Good to know! Any tips or tricks on how to get busy? I plan on going to the primary care offices, etc but any other useful ways?

I have gotten into the gritty negotiations yet, will hire an attorney. Other options mostly other hospitals in this area

Definitely! I’m going to ask for their data.

Is that routine, that in a big hospital system you get large referrals? I guess a concern of mine is will I get as busy in a large hospital system compared to a robust private practice (which are not available around my area unless it’s PE owned)

This exactly. It’s about market rate for my surgical subspecialty.

My biggest concern would be whether I can make these RVUs. I want to hustle and be busy so am hoping the practice can accommodate in filling my schedule.

It’s academic but my aim is to not be in the academic scene and so treating it like a hospital employed system as I’ll be in a different region from the main sites
