2018 - 3-Hour Virtual Seminar on Physician Employment Agreements: Items to Consider

Training Options Duration: 3 Hours
Wednesday, September 26, 2018 | 09:00 AM PDT | 12:00 PM EDT
Overview: We will review each of the elements of the physician employment agreement in
depth, focusing on the pitfalls and the problems that can develop when the agreement does not
clearly define the relationship, and/or when the parties do not fully understand what is being
agreed to. Such items as term and termination, termination for cause, duties of the physician,
call, non-compete, and compensation are all items that should be clearly set out in the
agreement and fully understood by the parties.
Why should you Attend: Formal written contracts establish the legal relationship between the
parties,they state the terms and conditions of that relationship and the rights and obligations
of each party.They confirm the intentions and relationships of the parties as they enter into
this relationship, and they eliminate uncertainties regarding mutual rights, obligations, and
relationships. If everything remained as it is at the time the agreement is signed,there would
be little need for formal documents.
However,the agreement serves to protect against future disputes.Therefore,it should include as
precise language as possible.Ambiguous terms in agreements are of little effect when disputes
occur over the meaning of a party's rights or obligations. You should attend to gain an
understanding of what should and what should not be in a physician employment agreement.
