The Money Meets Medicine podcast explores physician contract negotiations, focusing on three employment categories. It distinguishes between classic academic positions, future business ownership in private practices, and perpetual employment within hospital systems or private equity groups. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding contract terms related to FTE allocation, volume expectations, and access to specific subspecialties.
