We employ a part-time breast reader at one of the hospitals and a full-time position in a privately owned imaging center. Both are employed positions and compensated based on a daily rate. They receive full benefits based on the employee handbook in terms of medical insurance, vacation and profit sharing. The vacation benefits for the part-time position are prorated but everything else is paid the same as full-time.
We set a value for evening and weekend shifts and subtracted the average monthly value of that work from the rate we pay employed physicians on a membership track. In our case, it worked out to be a competitive rate.
while this has worked well in the past, we have a full-time position open currently but we're having trouble filling it because interested parties want to be on a partner track. They are willing to receive less compensation and receive a prorated bonus but don't want to be employees for more than 2 years. So far our group hasn't been willing to go there but we are beginning to look at what options we have if we need to make this a membership track.

Subject: Breast Center
Our hospital based group covers multiple hospitals and a couple of hospital owned breast centers. We have historically staffed the breast centers same as all seats, with shareholder radiologists or shareholder track radiologists. We are considering hiring a breast trained radiologist to only work in the breast centers. This radiologist would be paid a daily rate with no call or weekends. They would have to attend some breast conferences. They would not be on shareholder track.
Anyone that has done this, any range of expected pay and benefits would be appreciated.
Thanks,
