PGY-4 GI fellow. Wondering what your thoughts are on commiting to a practice early in fellowship with stipend paid during training.
I know some rural practices do this for applicants who they believe may be willing to relocate to a less than desired location for whatever reasons.
Has anyone had experience with this? If so, how much is reasonable to expect as a stipend during fellowship.
Also, what kind of things should be clearly stated in the contract prior to the stipend coming in (i.e. student loan repayment, years of comittment, call schedule, bonuses, vacation etc.) Is it even advisable to do this?
