 Physician Employment and Service Agreements

  • The American Medical Association offers a variety of resources to their members entering an employment relationship with hospitals, group practice, or other entities. 
  • Click here to view the AMA Principles for Physician Employment.
  • Please click here for Physician Compensation Resources, compiled by the Center for the Employed Physician.
The Center for the Employed Physician
 

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.

   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 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.
