Questions to ask the employer

  • Is $255,000–$300,000 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
  • What happens to compensation when the guarantee period ends, and what share of physicians out-earn the guarantee afterward?
  • How is the $200,000 loan repayment structured — forgiven over time, contingent on service years, or paid up front?
