Doctors Inc.: Beyond the Bedside – From Residency to Practice, Navigating Contracts and Coverage
Your transition from residency to practice is one of the most important and vulnerable moments in your medical career. Before you sign your first employment contract or assume your attending role, make sure you understand the fine print that could shape your future. On Saturday, September 6, 2025, MSSNY launches its Doctors Inc. webinar series with two powerful sessions designed to empower residents and fellows with essential legal and financial knowledge.
Get Paid What You’re Worth: Master Your First Contract
Saturday Survival Series: Reviewing & Negotiating Your First Employment Agreement
You didn’t go through years of training to sign a contract you don’t understand.
Before you accept your first attending job, make sure the fine print isn’t setting you up for regret. This session breaks down what most contracts don’t tell you upfront—and how to protect your future career.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this resident-focused Saturday session:
- What to watch for in non-compete clauses—and how to negotiate them
- The real story behind RVU-based pay (and how to avoid getting shortchanged)
- How to assess offer terms beyond salary—like bonuses, buy-outs, and restrictive clauses
- How to use benchmarks and conversion rates to get a fair deal
- Smart questions to ask before signing anything
Don’t let a rushed decision limit your mobility, income, or independence. This one hour could change how you approach every opportunity ahead.
Understanding Malpractice-Make Sure Your “Tail” is Covered
Saturday Survival Series: What They Don’t Teach You About Liability Insurance
You’re about to become the one who signs the orders—and the one who gets named in the lawsuit. But do you actually know what your employer’s malpractice insurance really covers?
Most residents don’t. That’s a problem.
In this no-fluff Saturday session, we’ll walk you through the fine print that can protect your career—or wreck it:
- Claims-Made vs. Occurrence: Two policies, one key difference—long-term protection.
- Tail Coverage: Who’s on the hook after you leave—and how much it could cost you.
- Policy Limits & Extras: What your policy actually covers—and when you might need more.
- Consent-to-Settle Clauses: What they are, how they work, and why you should care.
Don’t wait for a lawsuit to find out what was in your contract. Spend one hour with us and walk away ready to ask the right questions, demand the right protection, and take control of your future.
