Listen in as an experienced physician shares her candid experience about working with us to negotiate a more fair deal

Having seen other doctors be significantly undervalued and underpaid for their work, I was eager to not follow in the same footsteps. I felt so supported throughout the whole process. Working with you put me at ease and felt like having a personal job coach as I navigated this unchartered territory. I know that I've not only invested in finding the right job but also in an education and confidence to navigate my future career.

Dr. H.V.: Ethan’s thoroughness and proactive approach were invaluable throughout the process.

I never felt silly or embarrassed about any questions I had and you were very easy to talk to.
What was the most stressful or uncertain part of the contract negotiation process for you?
Dr. Woods: The waiting game with the recruiters after making certain inquiries/requests. Pressure from hospital systems/recruiters to make a decision by a certain amount of time. The looming fear that an offer could be pulled.
