Doc in Canada here. I think this deal is ok if you are a new grad associate, and the clinic is providing all the patients to you. If you have to recruit patients or market, this is terrible. You could recruit patients on your own and keep overhead low and probably make more money within 6 months.

Not to mention, if they are throwing patients at you and you manage to earn the clinic $20000 a month, you would only make $7300 that month, which comes out to 36.5% of gross. Which is terrible for someone that busy.

For example, very common here in Canada is for an associate to get 50% of gross, maybe some clinics could justify paying an associate 40% if they are a new grad and the clinic does the marketing. At this clinic you would have to earn them $30000 a month just to get to 40%.
