Good for generalists focused on wRVUs

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong benefits package. Flexibility in scheduling and personalizing your individual practice - though it is under wRVU pressure. Potential to earn a high income. Working for a large groups such as this carries the benefits you would expect - stability, support staff, etc.

Cons

Culture here values physicians who highly value generating income via throughput. If you have a specific style of practice that does not emphasize higher than average wRVU generation, you will not fit in here or last long. Due to the type of physicians attracted to this style of practice, there is not a great deal of collegiality overall on the department level, aside from individual friendships. Everyone is too busy and focused on their own individual practice, trying to optimize their own throughout and wRVUs. There is less concern for or interest in process improvement or change at the group level. Changes at the department level seem to be top down announcements. On a practical level, the referral and scheduling process is incredibly flawed. For a generalist willing to see everything this may be less of a problem. If you are a specialist, however, you will be incredibly frustrated by the inefficiency.
