What are some important things to consider the year you leave your residency and enter your first attending job? Transitions, no matter what they are, are typically accompanied by financial considerations. But there are many things that new physicians have to consider, from bonuses and contract negotiations to tail insurance and benefits packages. We tackle a few need-to-know topics in this episode of Physician Cents.
