It's time for new job signing by final-year residents. A non-compete is one of the important discussion points

It should be totally removed from Hospital-based physicians. It's a big win-win for health systems and physicians.

Why? read this thread.

#MedTwitter #healthcare Image Non-compete agreement --> it is meant to prevent physicians to compete with their old employers.

#hospitalist
#intensivist
#ER Docs
#Neurologists based at hospitals & others

These specialties don't compete or take patients with them once they leave their current job.

Why? Image

Searching for a #hospitalist Job? I have made it easy for you. Too many options to choose from.

Top Factors to look for in the job.

#MedTwitter, @BeckersHR @NY_Hospital_Job @TodaysHospital @acphospitalist @ahahospitals Not every hospitalist's job is the same.

#patient Volume:
- in 12-hour shifts, 15-18 encounters are common
- above 18, difficult to provide quality of care and high risk for errors and burnout risk
-it's okay to have a few days with a high census, but not with every day.
