Sounds like "the West" = California here. Also seems a bit predatory, but that may just be me.Hi all - I have a job offer from a PP in the West that I interviewed at 2 weeks ago.
Metro area ~500k pop, only other onc practice in town is the academic medical center
2-3 year prepartnership track:
Base of $310k + % of RVUs which start from 0 (unclear what the RVU percentage is but total comp during these years is typically $375-450k)
Work 5 days/week seeing 20-25 pts/day; 1 weekday call Q2weeks; 1 weekend call Q2months; no acute leuks, TTP, etc. (basically most heme/onc emergencies), cover 3 community hospitals, round on your own patients in the AM if they're admitted and need to be seen
Partnership track after 2-3 years:
Base of $410k + higher % of RVUs which start from 0 (they said total comp typically doubles) + profit sharing on top of all this
Work 4 days/week seeing 20-25 patients; same call as above
The 5 days/week and rounding in the hospital (seems like every day?) scare me. Thoughts on this or anything else?
You (and we) don't have enough information to answer the question you're asking here about total compensation. What are the %s and how are they valued? What are the median comp #s for pre-partners and partners.
We can use my standard numbers for a comparison. They might not be relevant, but it's something. Let's say 100 pts/wk x46w x2 wRVU/pt = 9200 wRVU/year. My current employed gig (which is rural-ish) would pay me ~$800K for that workload from day 1. My old (urban, HCOL, also employed) job would pay ~$675K for that workload from day 1.
Call in my current job is non-existent, call in my old job was 2 weeknights a month, 4 weekends a year.
In the last 6 months, I've seen 3 patients in the hospital, total. In my old job, hospital coverage was 2-10 patients a day (when you were covering the hospital, which was ~1 week a month). The good docs in the group saw their own patients, the s***heads had the "doc of the day" do it.
5 days a week is unnecessary.
I'm hiring.
