Medicine's landscape is ever changing. The working model in which an orthopaedic surgeon operates is no exception. These models can be very confusing for the orthopaedic surgeon who has little training in the area of business, but especially to the young orthopaedic surgeon who has focused their efforts nearly 100% on medical training over many years. This article examines some of the issues that might not be obvious to the physician who is trying to decide between hospital employment and private practice or some combination thereof. Also, there are several discussion points and questions raised for the physician contract negotiator when examining an employment contract. Finally, introduced are some advocacy steps that we, as orthopaedic surgeons, should consider to continue to improve medicine and our work environments.
医学领域的格局不断变化。矫形外科医生的工作模式也不例外。对于那些在商业领域几乎没有受过培训的矫形外科医生来说，这些模式可能会非常令人困惑，但对于那些多年来几乎将全部精力都集中在医学培训上的年轻矫形外科医生来说，更是如此。本文探讨了一些对于试图在医院就业和私人执业或两者兼而有之之间做出选择的医生来说可能不太明显的问题。此外，在审查雇佣合同时，还为医生合同谈判者提出了几个讨论要点和问题。最后，介绍了一些我们作为矫形外科医生应该考虑采取的倡导步骤，以继续改善医学和我们的工作环境。
