MedChi presented on Physician Employment trends in Maryland. The data was reviewed by Matt Katz of MCK Health who works with PAI, watch it here:
The Center for the Employed Physician was established by the Center for a Healthy Maryland through a grant from The Physicians Foundation. Through this project resources and educational programming were developed to assist physicians who are currently employed or are considering entering into an employment arrangement. To inform the content of the tools and services to be created, 442 Maryland physicians responded to a survey, giving feedback about their concerns regarding practicing medicine in an employed setting. Physicians considering employment most requested a resource that would aid in contract negotiations, while physicians who are currently practicing in employed settings most requested current compensation models. Both groups were also concerned about maintaining autonomy.
For more information, please contact Amity Aldrich, MedChi Membership Sales Director, at 410-539-0872 ext. 3330 or by email.

White Paper Offers Physicians Job Assessment Tips
Every year, thousands of medical residents coming
out of training go through the process of finding a job.
In addition, many physicians who already are in
practice relocate to new job opportunities. Merritt
Hawkins, a national physician search firm in
collaboration with MedChi, The Maryland State
Medical Society, have developed a white paper, titled
“How to Assess a Medical Practice Opportunity,”
which provides recommendations to both residents
and in-practice physicians seeking job opportunities.
“How to Assess a Medical Practice Opportunity,”
walks physicians through the sequential process of
determining whether a practice opportunity will fit
their personal and professional needs. The process
begins with determining what those needs are, and
continues through a careful examination of the
employment contract, practice style and culture, and
the amenities the position offers. This paper is an
excellent resource for physicians who wish to secure
a practice that will result in a lasting match.
