A 10-page clinician guide for evaluating a cardiothoracic role before you commit. It works through your priorities, case mix and volume, call structure, support and culture, the anatomy of the offer, benchmark context, red flags, and a weighted decision scorecard.
CT surgeons, APPs, perfusionists, RNFAs, and OR and CVICU clinicians
A short exercise to rank what actually matters in this move before the first interview shapes your thinking.
The questions that reveal real volume trends, production split, back-up structure, and how call is staffed on a bad week.
APP and perfusion coverage, CVICU escalation, outcomes review, and who runs the heart team in practice.
Guarantee period, wRVU rate and threshold, call pay, sign-on vesting, retention, relocation clawback, malpractice and tail, non-compete, and termination.
How to read the numbers against the market and the patterns that deserve more diligence before you sign.
A scoring tool that turns competing offers into a comparison you can defend to yourself and your family.
