During this session we will provide an update on the recent changes to non-competes. This is a pivotal time in employment contract negotiations given the recent FTC non-compete ban. We will address the most important factors in negotiating an employment contract, far beyond salary and vacation. As business owners, the moderators can speak to 'the other side' and why contracts may include certain clauses. Valuable for any Interventional Radiologist, rising fellow or resident who may be soon facing employment contract negotiations.
