Our organizational has done a lot of work to determine what is a full-time FTE for each specialty. In some areas like the ED it is the number of shifts/month, Surgery the resource allocation of OR/ACU/endoscopy blocks, Oncology we look at clinic days, and Medicine call obligations & clinics. The job duties of each specialty have helped us determine what expectations are appropriate of a full time vs. part time position.

This is for our GP group, currently "Full-time" is defined as a physician who provide 220 service days per year. Part-time contracts can be anything between 147 and 220 depending on what the physician prefers. This reflects on the amount of annual allowance and bonuses. Wondering if other jurisdictions use a similar system or have other ways to define "full-time".

I would need more information on your model of care and funding. I may not have that model in my area. Is this for a hospitalist position, and or doc of the day type stipend?
