Abstract

Signing a contract frames your employment, especially the first one. The monograph details some criteria that you should consider before signing. Additionally, I strongly recommend having your contract reviewed by an experienced attorney, ideally one with special knowledge of contracts and healthcare. The money spent will save you time, aggravation, and finances in the long term.
