Physician Employment Contracts, The Missing Module: A comprehensive introduction to physician agreements written for doctors

Book Synopsis: A handbook for doctors at all stages of practice.The majority of American medical schools do not provide any formal education with regard to signing a contract to provide medical services.

As a result, physicians graduate unprepared to evaluate employment contracts upon entering the workforce.
