Listen in as host David Mandell sits down with Ethan Nkana, JD, MBA, founder of Rocky Mountain Physician Agency and his client, Dr. Erica Mathieu, Chief Medical Officer at Primary Health Solutions. In part one of this two-episode interview, David begins the discussion with Ethan, covering his background in law and as a hospital administrator, where he used to negotiate physician employment contracts from the employer side. He explains his agency’s approach to contract negotiations in representing doctors and the common misconceptions physicians believe which hold them back in getting better deals.   

Erica adds to the conversation the physician perspective, commenting that many doctors have a mindset that believes the employer’s statement that contract terms are non-negotiable, when, in fact, this is not true.  

As this initial part of the conversation concludes, Ethan also emphasizes the crucial success factor of having other quality offer(s) on the table when negotiating your next contract.
