title: A great position before a great 'package'.
abstract: Should employment agreements (EAs) be the deciding factor in considering a new position? EAs are details--important details, but background just the same--to the key issue: Do you want the job? And because of the way many health care organizations create their EAs, there really is little room for negotiation. Perceptions persist that this is an entirely open area, a blank canvas upon which each physician executive, in each situation, must don his or her battle gear and fight fiercely for the best possible deal. And yet, this is an area in which you are unlikely to have control.
