Benefits packages physicians should consider
Whether your benefits are provided to you by an employer or you must choose your own, these are the most common benefits physicians should be looking for.
The robustness of a benefits package can vary significantly depending on the type of employer. Nonetheless, when evaluating job opportunities, it often becomes a focal point.
