Contracting Challenges
Contracting challenges are the common problems and pitfalls physicians run into when negotiating and signing employment agreements.
Contracting challenges are the recurring traps in physician agreements: restrictive covenants that follow you for years, compensation formulas that look generous but pay little, malpractice tail you did not realize you owed, and termination clauses that favor the employer. Most first-time signers do not know what to push on, which is exactly why the contract is written the way it is.
The biggest challenge is not any single clause, it is signing without knowing which clauses are negotiable. A directory, a contract education, and a contract attorney exist to close that gap before you sign.
