Dr. Jordan Romero - will cover things I wish I'd known and questions I wish I'd asked prior to accepting my first position as an outpatient, private-practice attending.
Jordan Romero, M.D. is a board-certified General Adult Psychiatrist who received his medical degree from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. He completed his General Psychiatry residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School. His clinical interests include psychopharmacology and psychotherapy of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, and substance abuse disorders. Dr. Romero is available for initial evaluations, second opinion consultations, as well as ongoing medication management and psychotherapy of adult patients.
Dr. Joseph Willuweit - will discuss 3-5 specific contract provisions that attendees should be specifically attuned to (e.g. restrictive covenants, early termination, indemnity, incentive-based comp). With any remaining time and in the Q&A, he will discuss general approach to employment negotiations, and in particular why it is important to give contract review/negotiation the appropriate time and attention – that the “legal stuff” (which may not seem like a priority) can have significant impact on a physician’s day-to-day and overall satisfaction in the position.
Mr. Willuweit concentrates his practice in mental health law and confidentiality, risk management, health care law, professional licensure, and guardianship and probate matters. Prior to Monahan Law Group, Mr. Willuweit completed internships in the general counsel's office at both a Chicago-based hospital and a national healthcare professional association, in addition to the city of Chicago. Further, he volunteered at the Pro Se Adult Guardianship Help Desk for the Cook County Circuit Court. Mr. Willuweit received his J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he served as Senior Editor of the Annals of Health Law and was involved with the Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy including planning and coordinating the 2015 Access to Health Field Study in McAllen, Texas. He received his undergraduate degrees from Loyola University Chicago where he graduated from the Interdisciplinary Honors Program and was active in the Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity.
