Negotiating an employment agreement can feel like deciphering a foreign language—until you know which clauses actually shape your day-to-day life and your long-term options. In the first episode of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and RosmanSearch podcast series, "Conversations in Neurosurgery", host Jonathan Haines of Rosman sits down with healthcare attorney Ericka Adler, J.D. to discuss "Negotiating Your Employment Agreement".
Ms. Adler walks through the contract terms physicians most often overlook (and later regret), along with the practical levers that are typically negotiable. You’ll hear guidance on compensation structure, termination language, restrictive covenants like non-competes, malpractice coverage, and how to make sure promised resources and support are specifically written into your contract language. Whether you’re reviewing your first offer or renegotiating a current role, this episode will help you approach your agreement with more confidence—and a sharper eye for the details that matter.
