Anyone know what all the jargon means? DH asked me to look over it before he signs. I looked. I saw the dollar amount (6 digits is good enough to me). I don't know what everything means though. Is there a service that deciphers these things for lay spouses?

I agree, get a lawyer! I know it sucks but its a lot of money, time, etc. that you've both put into all of this training to be screwed with by the job.
ETA: We have a med school friend that did residency in that area and now has her own practice, if you need a referral let me know I'm sure she has an attorney who is well versed in medicine.Wife to NSG out of training, mom to 2, 10 & 8, and a beagle with wings.

I agree about the lawyer. I know you guys want to stay put but let me just throw out to you the possibility of looking around. I would want to make sure there is an "out" clause for your hubby. You never know what other options are out there plus you have no bargaining power if you just say that you'll stay. Also not trying to be a downer...I am so excited for you guys I just want to make sure you get the best deal for your family.Tara

Does this mean it isn't binding:
We are excited about the prospect of having you join the Department of Pediatrics as a faculty
member and colleague. While this letter reflects our intent with regard to your appointment to the
faculty, no offer of employment is official until you receive a formal contract signed by the Dean
of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. In order to compose a formal offer from the school, we want to
summarize a number of issues we have discussed regarding the position proposed.Veronica

Definitely get the lawyer. I was amazed at the things the lawyer pointed out to us that we both just glossed over!Luanne

You need a lawyer to review and advocate for your interests when the Hospital produces a legally enforceable offer.

Got it. He's going to sign and turn it in before the 12th. He knows of a group that reviews contracts for a nominal fee for new docs (in hopes that the docs will hire them later when they are making good money). We also have a few friend's to get lawyer referrals from when the time comes.Veronica
