Non-Compete Clauses for Doctors #doctor #wealth #success

And I strongly recommend that you don't sign on a job and take an early sign on bonus. Some employers will offer you a certain amount of money per year throughout residency and fellowship, and they're really roping you in very early to a job that might not be what's advertised, might not be what you wanted. You should really go into your first attending job as mobile as possible so that you can make changes with when you figure out you need to. When it comes to your contract, you should think hard about signing a non compete clause. Non compete should be very specific about which locations are involved. So if you work for a large health network, the non compete should affect the location where you worked primarily. It should not affect every single hospital, clinic, and satellite of that health network, because you could be talking about the entire state at that point. So be very careful about non compete clauses.
