Physician Contract Glossary · Contract Structure

Professional Advisors

Professional advisors are the attorney, accountant, and financial advisor you bring in to review a contract before signing.

Professional advisors are the people you hire to read what you are about to sign: a physician contract attorney, an accountant for the tax and compensation modeling, and sometimes a financial planner for the bigger picture. The cost of a contract review is small against the size of the commitment, and the senior physicians who signed blind almost always did so without one.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Have a physician contract attorney review the agreement before you sign, every time. This is the single highest-return hour of professional help in the entire transition.

You are about to sign something the senior people in your program signed without reading.

They had no guide either. You do. Start with the option that costs you nothing: see every practice that is actually out there before anyone hands you a contract.
