Special Contractual Issues for Female Physicians
OVERVIEW:
Contract negotiation is a high-stakes interaction, yet most physicians are never taught negotiation skills. Studies suggest that women, as compared to men, display a lower propensity to initiate negotiations and negotiate less competitively, highlighting a need for training to help level the playing field for female physicians. There shouldn't be special contractual considerations for women physicians, but unfortunately there are. This webinar is intended for women in medicine from the level of medical student to full professor. All physicians need to be familiar with appropriate compensation through benchmarking data such as that published by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). However, while this may be one of several critical issues for a male physician, the benchmarks are especially important for women physicians. Unfortunately, until discrimination against female physicians ends, female physicians need to be especially vigilant in protecting their rights. Join Dennis Hursh, Esq., as he addresses the special contractual issues that may impact the female physician and discusses how to deal with any concerns.
