Abstract
Understanding the anatomy of an employment contract in plastic surgery is essential for achieving financial stability and advancing career goals. The lack of formal training for residents on employment contracts can make it challenging to secure favorable terms postgraduation, potentially leading to career dissatisfaction and increased risk of burnout. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the key elements of an employment contract to empower plastic surgeons and residents in effective negotiation. It covers critical contract components, including compensation models, duties, and benefits, tailored to the unique needs of plastic surgeons. Furthermore, it discusses termination clauses, legal protections, and the advantages of legal assistance in contract negotiation. By equipping plastic surgeons and residents with this knowledge, they can attain greater career satisfaction, financial security, and sustained professional success.
