Hi. I am in a small town rad private practice. The group dynamics are complicated. There is a minority of younger partners who want to adapt the practice and grow. The majority of partners are nearing retirement and want to stay the course. The course however is same or less vacation, decreasing salaries, and a work schedule from sometime in the 80's. Hiring new rads is next to impossible given our location and aforementioned salary/bene unless the applicant is not at all competitive. When speaking with admin about concerns they tout the short commute as a hiring point...the hiring point. Admins other parcel of advice is "what about those telerad companies?"
I keep sticking it out planning it will get better but the future options are seemingly the practice breaking up and/or being an employee at a place where I am told by admin "we don't want people who are here for the money". (which is after I mentioned we didn't make MGMA national average this past year) And to be an employee I'd rather be someplace else. On of my colleagues keeps telling me when there's a ship wreck sometimes its an oil spill other times there's sunken treasure. Has anyone had any experience with tettering practices.
