Product Description:

AUDIOCONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND

Sponsored by Physician Compensation & Recruitment

presented on April 9, 2008

Plan for part-timers now

Offering part-time options is essential to retaining and recruiting today’s physicians. Most facilities already have physicians working part-time or reduced call, and shifting physician demographics will make part-time work arrangements even more common in the near future. Practice leaders must carefully craft part-time compensation plans that keep physicians happy without reducing productivity and hurting the bottom line.

According to the 2006 Physician Retention Survey conducted by Cejka and AMGA, 90% of responding practices said they employ at least one part-time physician and other groups responding to the survey said part-time/flexible work options were rated as the second most effective retention strategy.
