As medical residents and fellows leave training and enter the medical field, they are often overwhelmed with personal and professional decisions. Having a wife who is a resident physician, Kyle Claussen understands the importance of helping residents manage this process.

The first concern most residents and fellows have surrounds their proposed employment agreement. Residents and fellows rarely get exposure to the business of health care. This makes reviewing a detailed employment contract their first experience in managing their new role as a business partner and revenue generator. It is critical that the agreement is reviewed with a professional prior to executing the agreement. The impact of negotiating the employment contract will have long lasting implications.

The second concern many residents and fellows run into is much more personal — their children. Most residents do not have a will in place when they leave residency because of the misconception that they don’t need one. This just isn’t true, a will is needed to name your child’s guardian. Without a proper will in place, the person who will raise your children upon your death will be determined by state law.

Finally, foreign medical graduate residents need to navigate the U.S. immigration system when they leave training. Without proper guidance your employment can be delayed, or possibly revoked if the proper procedures and deadlines are not met. Obtaining a J-1 waiver is an important step in a foreign medical graduates career, and Claussen Law Firm can help.

Every client has different needs and Claussen Law Firm is here to help. Feel free to contact us today for a no cost initial consultation.
