PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Most recruiting bonuses are paid at or after employment
commences. We are recommending that we secure a commitment from our
students before other offers are presented, by offering our four
students a recruiting incentive of $2,000 each, payable immediately,
in exchange for a written commitment that each will work for UVa for
one year, commencing no later than September 1, 1990. Further, as
it is anticipated that shortages may exist in other areas of
Radiology, a lesser recruiting bonus of $1,000 should be offered to
other students, enrolled in our school, for a similar one year commitment.
We believe that by providing students the recruiting incentive
immediately, we will accelerate the conventional recruiting period and
beat our competition.
Plans are underway to redesign the stipend-scholarship
employment provisions and requirements for future students who are
enrolled in our medical center based schools.
