This article in Med Center Today was written primarily for academic physician candidates, however the checklist can also be used by physician candidates seeking hospital employment and even private practice opportunities.
There are many other important factors other than salary to consider when reviewing a contract, many of these negotiable.
Standard incentives offered in most contracts include sign-on, relocation, salary or income guarantee, and support. However other factors some candidates don't think of in the negotiation process are loan repayment assistance (particularly for new graduates), additional support, education for the candidate's children, assistance for spousal employment, and housing assistance in either selling a previous house or in buying a new house.
