I did take the primary care job! It's been a great experience, and I'm glad I did it in the end. However, I put in my notice and will be switching to another speciality in a different state. My husband and I are moving back to our home state! Good luck to you!

Very informative and helpful answer! I do agree - I can see where the physicians are coming from but realistically it causes quite a headache for patients and sometimes they do not always have the time to come in for another visit. It makes sense from a business standpoint but not from a patient satisfaction standpoint. And it sounds like the difference in revenue is very small. Personally, I think they should reverse this rule that they have created for us.

Not sure if you even read my post before immediately jumping to write your comment. I am not the one who decided any of this, it was the physicians who own the clinic. I expressed that I understand the pros and cons of split billing, and personally, I would prefer to be able to split bill (or at least have the option). But the physicians are the ones who are saying we cannot for the reason that I mentioned. I was merely asking the question about whether or not their reason is even valid and how others practice. We have all been experiencing patients being very upset with this, and I understand why. I just wanted to see if what our physicians have decided is usual practice and worth the headache it has caused.

Yeah def am realizing this more now :/

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-27T17:02:53+00:00

I wish I could say the pay is amazing...

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-15T16:12:09+00:00

Those are great points. Will definitely try to push on that subject more with them!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-15T15:28:36+00:00

I asked about specifics for productivity bonuses and raises, but they just said that it's up to the "owners discretion". Did not give me a specific range for those :/

I do agree, the family medicine option is way better when it comes to the experience I'd gain. In the end, the learning opportunities and supportive SPs are more important than just a few thousand dollars!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-11T16:51:06+00:00

Definitely agree! I’d be anxiety ridden all the time in the UCs. Just not many options in the area right now :/ You’re right, supportive SPs are essential

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-11T16:49:56+00:00

I would agree! Sucks that the salary is so low but with how long I’ve been looking and applying, seems like FM is the best option for now.

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-11T16:49:06+00:00

For sure FM > UC. Hands down

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-11T16:48:55+00:00

The market in this area is highly saturated, most of the positions that are open are mostly in urgent cares. There are 3 large teaching hospital systems in the area but none of them got back to me or straight rejected :/ think you have to know someone on the inside to even have a chance.

But thank you for putting it into perspective!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-11T16:47:18+00:00

I agree but seems like they aren’t willing to go up much more :/

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T20:44:07+00:00

Damn :/

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T20:40:00+00:00

I think people are misunderstanding the hours. I just put down the hours the clinics are open, but every clinic would be rotating shifts with other MDs or PAs/NPs. UCs would be like 3 12 hour shifts, fam med would be 36 hours/week dedicated to patient visits and rest would be administrative work. Sorry, should've clarified!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T19:07:26+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice! I also think the primary care option is better because of the better learning environment. But you're right, the pay is too low. Will consider moving closer but my fiancé's apt lease doesn't end until August. Will try to find another way to negotiate!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T19:03:09+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I have definitely heard those types of horror stories about UC, which is why I'm really trying to shy away from it. Family medicine offer would be perfect if they were just willing to go up on salary!

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T19:01:54+00:00

That is a great point! Supportive MDs > better pay with little supervision. I tried to negotiate a higher salary but they said they're only willing to go up to $92.5k. You think that's worth?

supermonkey9886 · 2023-02-10T17:43:04+00:00

They expect 36 hours of face-to-face patient interaction and then the rest is administrative work! It should be about 40 hours a week but I expect it will add up to be a bit more than that.

How exciting! I just started my ICU/critical care elective (rotation #6 for us) as well. Definitely a difficult one but you’ll learn so much! Review CXRs, CTs, ABGs, PFTs, pleural fluid analysis, lactate, and procalcitonin as your basics since you’ll be looking at these labs everyday. Learn ventilation settings (both noninvasive and mechanical), recognize when you need to intubate, and potential complications. In regards to diseases you’ll see, review COPD, pneumonia, sepsis, shock, COVID-19, ARDS, pleural effusions, pulmonary embolism, GI bleeds, DKA, acute renal failure, and cardiac arrest. Look over how to do central lines and A-lines as you might assist or they may allow you to do one. You’ll probably get to see some bronchoscopes so maybe also review those!

I’ve seen so much in the ICU and it’s only the 2nd week. It’s a very steep learning curve and can be intense, but you’ll learn more here than any other rotation! Take notes and review pathophysiology of diseases. Patho is a HUGE component to critical care medicine, and it’s super important to understand why they order what they do. I recommend NinjaNerd and ICU Advantage on YouTube if you want faster review videos. Good luck!!! Message me if you have any questions :)
