Questions to ask the employer

  • Is $100,000 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
  • How is the productivity component calculated (wRVU rate, threshold, reconciliation cadence), and what did physicians here actually earn from it last year?
  • How is the $100,000 loan repayment structured — forgiven over time, contingent on service years, or paid up front?
  • How many weeks of PTO and CME time are included, and is unused time paid out?
