If you’re a pathology resident or fellow, you’re probably about ready to leave your training program and start looking for a full-time position. But before you start your job search, you want to be fully prepared to negotiate compensation packages and employment benefits.
Find out how to get the best salary, benefits, and relocation terms from prospective employers when you register to attend the latest webinar in the Dark Report’s new PREP series, “How to Negotiate the Best Employment Contract,” held on Thursday, January 13, 2011.
Labs, pathology groups, and academic programs regularly recruit and hire pathologists so they’ve become experienced negotiators. This gives them an advantage during contract talks-especially when dealing with inexperienced residents and fellows.
Here’s your chance to turn the tables on this unbalanced situation by learning what it takes to negotiate an optimal employment contract. Get up close and personal with attorney Jane Pine Wood, Esq., a partner at the law firm of McDonald Hopkins and one of the nation’s savviest experts on pathology contracting. Pathologists across the nation consider Wood the “go-to” expert on employment contracts and group partner agreements as well as on compliance and legal issues in clinical laboratory and surgical pathology testing.
Wood offers an overview of the different types of job relationships-including employment by large national labs, hospital-based pathology practices, and a non-pathology specialist groups-and provides tips to help you negotiate with each one. She’ll also review the key terms of employment agreements, with a focus on compensation and bonus provisions, term and termination provisions, and restrictive covenants, so you’ll know how to “talk the talk” when you sit down at the negotiating table.
This special 75-minute webinar is tailored exclusively to the needs of fourth-year pathology residents, like yourself, who are ready to enter the job market and want to understand the ins and outs of negotiating the best employment contract. Pathology fellows just completing their training and looking for full-time positions will also find the information in this session equally invaluable.
