i.e. what does the Locum company charge the practice for an 8 hour day? a 40 hour week? etc. --Sean

No. I am waivered for 100 patients and see probably 60 Suboxone plus an additional 10+ vivitrol patients monthly. I have no back up (just a PA who is waivered for 30 patients and slowly building her panel). I have worked every Monday afternoon/evening for the last 2.5 years (except one when I...

One of the NPs I worked with had applied for the NHSC repayment plan, she had $7500 +/- in unpaid student loans, Figured the NHSC was free money, and applied, received it, and 6 months later decided she had enough of the working conditions, poor management and other negative aspects of our FQHC...

I am a family med doc (boarded in osteopathic and allopathic family medicine) working at an FQHC, NHSC site, and I echo your sentiments. I am working 3 jobs: Suboxone clinic (I started it with the CEO of a local rural health center, not my NHSC site) 1 night per week, I pick up 1 weekend per...

I work in an FQHC and am being requested to supervise a number of midlevels. I was wondering what the typical compensation for that is? Thanks, --Sean

After graduating from residency, in an Income-based-repayment plan, or PAYE plan, do you have to resubmit your income and have your student loan payment recalculated as soon as you start working, or is the end of the year/annual recertification soon enough? I've already recertified my new...

Were you able to collect unemployment? --Sean

I have a family and work for one of the lowest paying residencies out there. Even with two incomes we have been having trouble making ends meet for the last 3 years and now with the break in employment it becomes difficult.

It's a long story, but I find myself looking for FM positions (and will be signing shortly) a little bit late in the process. I will be graduating from residency in the next few weeks, then the company I will be signing with told me they can credential me in 6 weeks. That will be a long 6...

It was, I was just commenting on some of the snarkiness that followed, apparently my description of my program's problems was not taken kindly by some of the other residents/chief residents who may have personalized/projected some of my comments to their own situations...

Yes, we have some problem residents that exhibit immature behaviors. We have a chief resident who has never been in charge of anything in his life, and believes chief resident is a supervisory position. It is not. Chief resident (at least in our residency) is someone that does more paperwork and...

No, he's the 2nd year that has taken over as chief resident. He took over a little early since the prior chief, my classmate didn't want the job any more. and our new "KIng" Resident was chomping at the bit to implement his "ideas" for improving the residency... --Sean

As I mentioned above, it doesn't really affect me, I'm done in a few weeks. This issue was raised as a system to penalize one resident in the guise of being fair and equitable. My approach would be to pull the deficient resident aside and discuss why this is occurring and what can be done to...

I'm actually an off-schedule 3rd year and will graduate in a few weeks, I'm just wondering for the sake of my colleagues just starting. --Sean
