Q: Should I hire a lawyer to review my physician employment contract?

A: In general, yes. We are not lawyers and do not give legal advice. We have reviewed many contracts and can provide you with feedback as to what we have seen as standard. The choice of a lawyer is critical. Find someone well versed in medical contract law, as well as the state’s laws in which you will practice. Try to find an attorney recommended by someone else. Also, make sure the attorney has enough time to review the contract in a timely manner. Negotiations could be hampered by a slowed response time.

Q: If I am a resident, when should I decide upon accepting a position?

A: As a general rule, the earlier the better. The more time you have to work on license applications, hospital privileges, finding a new home and moving arrangements, the less stress you’ll encounter. Many hospitals recruit for summer positions in the fall and early winter. Don’t think all of the “good” physician jobs are taken by the end of winter. We assist physicians throughout the year because contract expirations occur throughout the year. Don’t worry. Have confidence that the right position will be available. Call us, we are here to help!

Q: Who handles negotiations, me or my recruiter?

A: Whenever possible, your recruiter should handle negotiations for physician practice opportunities. Having a liaison reduces the potential for heated arguments between two parties. Keep in mind, professional recruiters regularly perform this task.

The Wii is revolutionizing game consoles. Before the Nintendo Wii, game consoles were viewed as strictly for the nerd herd. Gamers were singled out by their pale pallor, sagging muscles and inability to make eye contact. With the advent of Wii, these stereotypes are disappearing fast.

Wii is Easy
Wii is the most accessible console on the planet. It is so easy to set up because it is practically wireless so you never have to worry about which cable goes into which port. All in all there only five ports: the power adapter, AV cable, and Sensor Bar. The other two ports are for USB accessories. You can lay the Wii flat down or use the console stand for a more impressive angle. Check the full details in our Nintendo Wii Review

Wii is Funky
It only measures 8.5” by 6”; it is 2” thick; and it only weighs 2.7 pounds. A stack of three DVDs is bigger than the compact Wii. The body is a pearly white finish it looks like a distant cousin of the iPod. The overall look of the Wii is slim, sleek and compact.

Wii is Fun
Unlike other game consoles, the Wii focuses on motion detection. Its accessories, the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, and its Sensor Bar are equipped with the latest in motion detection so your clumsy execution of a tennis swing can be easily translated to an Ace serve. While you pretend to be Tiger Woods or Robin Hood for an afternoon, watch those calories burn away. Who knows, playing video games can jumpstart your fitness routine!

Wii is for Everyone
The action packed sports games of Wii are getting everyone on their feet but the older generations will wax nostalgia once they start playing Nintendo classics like Mario and Sega. Parents, brothers, sisters – generation gaps are sure to disappear once everyone has their Wii-motes and Nunchuks in hand. The Nintendo Classic games are available for download through the Virtual Console.

Wii is Affordable
Happy moments should not have a price tag but luckily this little factory of fun comes at an affordable price of $250. It costs a lot less than other more imposing consoles like the PS3 and Xbox but is never short on features. Read more in our Nintendo Wii Review
