    Termination affecting licensure

    Oh yeah. Great point. Okay. I got confused because I have resigned from other jobs before (I like to make any breaks clean, moved a few times and chased better jobs a few times) and its always been just me sending my letter and everyone throwing me a party with cake. The formal letter from the...

    Termination affecting licensure

    I actually do want someone's opinion on this as I now have a related question. I left a job and sent a formal resignation letter back in august of last year saying as of November 30 I wished to end my full time contract. I fully did this to pursue a job elsewhere due to leadership opportunities...

    Pay to Play

    I work for TH at a site and my hospital just hit me up for this. I just straight of forwarded the email to TeamHealth because I am not playing that game.

    FTC bans noncompetes.

    They're wrong and the FTC has written policy (which, ironically my hospitals firewall blocks :unsure:) stating that it has very clear and historically established control over 501c3's when they are making market-wide policies and that their inability to make non-profit *specific* policies does...

    FTC bans noncompete clauses

    this part is completely wrong. The FTC has *extensive* control over non-profit entities and has repeatedly proven so by past actions and policies that have stood for decades. Their website has multiple pages of policies specific to the control they have over non-profits that wish to interact...

    FTC bans noncompete clauses

    Someone else quoted me and dragged me into this conversation, so let me respond to this. The FTC specifically said that one of the communities they were trying to make sure that this does target is doctors. Also the rule doesn't exclude anyone. Once it goes into effect all new non-competes are...

    "Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom"

    You're totally right. Two different hospitals I work(ed) at had L&D and just decided delivering babies wasn't profitable enough so they just closed L&D. Theyre actually both in the same larger hospital group and they just downsized all their L&D to one single site in the group. The pregnant...

    "Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom"

    The consensus I've seen (because no one is putting it formally into writing) is that you can put up signs in triage that are phrased in a neutral way that list what services you have. You can not put up signs that specifically say what you do not have, and you can't tell someone registering "we...

    FTC bans noncompetes.

    FTC already clarified they *exclusively* mean c-suite positions where compensation may be complex and elements of compensation are actively negotiated with non-competes being used as a counterweight. Without that high level negotiation, there is no exception. So just c-suite people, not...

    Anyone want to guess at the number of unfilled spots this year?

    I visited South Shore hospital once because I was a med student and one of the specialties that I was at did cross coverage at South Shore. Incredibly long drive to get out there first off. Secondly, that emergency room was so terrifying that I still remember it to this day. And I have been in a...

    Anyone want to guess at the number of unfilled spots this year?

    That would make me sad if so. I was over there 11 years ago and it was really nice. Shocking amount of subspecialties and could manage damn near anything because of it.
