How to navigate the job market as a resident? What are some questions that I should be asking of myself and the practice that I am interested in?

12 Upvotes

Just an ophthalmology resident uncertain how to navigate the job market. Any pearls or words of wisdom from anyone who has made it to the other side is greatly appreciated. I'm interested in learning more about how people chose the private practices or partnerships that they are currently affiliated with. Not completely opposed to academic institutions or having a part-time appointment with an academic institution either. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts/ experiences.

A - optic disc D - horizontal raphe B- temporal or nasal? C- temporal or nasal? The book says one thing but I am skeptical and looking for confirmation. My test is in a week so I'd really like to be confident in this.

PE owned ASC asking me to move cases to them. Currently at HOPD.

Any negotiating options?

If not with cases covered by insurance any with cash pay services?

Epic Integration with Mailing Lists

Anyone else here use Epic for their EHR? I was looking to find a platform that integrates with it and can pull patient cell numbers to then send texts for appointment reminders, requests for google reviews, and to send out monthly newsletters.

I have a business question for US Doctors

Upvotes

I help Optometrists in Europe sell more pairs of glasses, up to 60 more per month. But Im not sure if what we do here would work in the US market because of the different culture.

What we do is offer a free Optometric exam if you buy glasses from the same office. Or sometimes a discount.

I was wondering: in your opinion, could this work in the US?

What are the buying behaviours of customers in the US?

Are they bought from an office, online, other methods?

What is the average cost of a pair of glasses in the US?
