In this kickoff episode of a multi-part series on physician contracts, Dr. Jimmy Turner and attorney Michael Johnson break down why understanding contract terms is crucial for physicians. They introduce the “contract trinity”—work obligations, compensation, and exit strategy—and discuss employer motivations, legal considerations, and common pitfalls like non-competes and clawbacks. Real-world examples highlight the risks of “standard” contracts and the importance of negotiation. The episode emphasizes that contract literacy is essential for career and financial well-being, setting the stage for deeper dives into contract topics in future episodes.
