So - you would be covering some type of practice? Is this a primary care practice? 36 hour call can get hairy...how much is your sleep going to be interrupted? The salary I can't address because it all depends on your cost of living in OK.

I don't know about the 36 hour call - whew!

It's just ER call. There is not actually a provider that stays at the small hospital. So I would only go in if there was a patient, which some nights, there is only 1-2 some 0. I know there is always that crazy night that happens sometimes. The clinic patients I will be seeing are just overflow from the doc primary care practice....like people that call and need a sick appointment that day. Cost of living is super low in Oklahoma, but I do know some of last years grads and most signed for high 90s but are working Mon-Fri 8-5

I'll take it!!! For a new grad, the salary is in the right place, esp w/benefits, you could moon light later in the week and make over $100K. GFI!

Hey, thanks for the encouragement. I feel really good about it, its just trying to find places to moonlight! I can work on that as I go. I think there is a little room for negotiation....I can probably get him to 70k. I have NO idea how much CME allowance to ask for?

A good number to shoot for is the cost of a conference per year. Keep in mind travel and expenses (hotel, flight, rental). They should be used to this. So, roughly, conference $500, hotel $400, flight $300, rental/expenses $300, total $1500 or about 2% of your salary. Not much to get a competent provider. You turn in the receipts and get reimbursed, cheap in my book.
