Bringing Change To Physician Contracts With Data And Trusted Experts A Resolve agent works for you, the physician, and not the employer.
Resolve Physician Agency is an answer to a few key questions—How do physicians find the job they are actually looking for, get better representation at the negotiation table, and a better deal in their agreements? Resolve puts the power back into the hands of the physician by providing detailed knowledge of the marketplace for physicians on a national scale and health care employment contract expertise. If you are a physician who is looking for a new opportunity, Resolve will help you find exactly what you’re looking for rather than trying to sell you on a limited selection of opportunities like a recruiting firm. Resolve consults with its physician clients in depth and detail to learn who they are and exactly what they want out of their employment agreements and opportunities and puts a plan of action in motion to get it for you.

The bonus is the easiest thing to negotiate and the easiest thing to misread. Read the repayment clause first.

⏳ Submitted your requested changes and haven't heard back? Here's how long to actually wait.
There's no universal rule. Employers can respond the same afternoon or take a full month, depending on their internal process. But as a general guideline: if it's been about a week with no response, it's completely reasonable to check in. A short, simple follow-up works: "Wanted to check on the status of this. I'm happy to answer any questions."
If you're on a tighter timeline (such as juggling other offers or facing a deadline) you don't have to wait a full week. There's no rule against following up sooner if your situation calls for it.

Nocturnists carry hospital medicine through the hours when staffing is thinnest and decisions can't wait until morning. It's some of the most physically demanding work in medicine. It should command a real premium, not just a modest night differential.
With hospitals struggling to fill overnight coverage nationwide, nocturnists hold real leverage right now. The question is whether contracts are keeping pace with that demand.
Fair pay starts with data, not guesswork:
→ Know your regional benchmarks. Night-shift premiums vary enormously by market and by how desperate a hospital is to fill the schedule.
→ Understand shift structure. 7-on/7-off, block scheduling, and per-shift vs. salaried models all affect real compensation differently.
→ Watch for circadian and burnout protections. Contracts should address shift length, consecutive nights, and recovery time, not just pay rate.
→ Don't skip non-compete review. Even shift-based roles can carry restrictive covenants worth scrutinizing.

🤔 "Partnership track" sounds great in an offer letter... until you realize it's rarely a guarantee.
Most employment agreements only gesture at partnership: a vague timeline, maybe a buy-in formula, but rarely a firm commitment. If partnership is your end goal, you can't just take the mention at face value.
Ask directly: What do I need to achieve to be considered? How many associates have actually made partner recently, and how many didn't? What does the compensation package look like once you're a partner, and how is it structured? These answers tell you far more than the agreement itself.

Interviewing elsewhere isn't disloyal. It doesn't put a good offer at risk. It's how the process is designed to work.
You are allowed to take the time. You are allowed to keep looking. The offer in front of you is not the only one.

💰 Feel weird asking a private practice about their finances? You're not alone. But here's the reframe.
As an incoming associate, you're technically not entitled to detailed financials. But if a practice is hoping you'll eventually become a partner, they should expect (and want) someone who thinks like a business owner. Asking about revenue, growth, and financial health isn't overstepping. It's a signal you're serious about the role.
If a practice gets defensive or offended by reasonable financial questions, that reaction itself is worth paying attention to. Private practice comes with a different mindset than academic or employed positions, and how they respond to your questions tells you a lot about the culture you'd be joining.

Most physicians treat a non-compete like a fixed term. It isn't. Everything is negotiable, and depending on your state, your leverage is stronger than it's ever been.
If you can't get it removed entirely, push on the geography. Push on the duration. Understand the buyout clause. The difference between a 10-mile, 2-year restriction and a 3-mile, 1-year restriction can determine whether you're able to stay in your community when it's time to move on.
