Any position within the medical field is as much a calling as it is a career. Despite the sometimes long and unexpected hours, achieving your ideal work-life balance is possible, especially as an independent contractor. If you are seeking employment in the anesthesiology sector – whether as a cardiac anesthesiologist, pediatric anesthesiologist, or general anesthesiologist – VitalSolution is a physician-led organization that understands what is important to you. We support our clinician partners by helping them find the roles they were meant for and ensuring they have the resources they need for success in every workplace.
One of the first things you’ll learn from our physician recruiters is how the VitalSolution Model can give you more control over your life. When you partner with us, you will be a 1099 contractor with a schedule that enables a higher degree of work-life balance. Most of our staff work one week off, one week on a schedule block, meaning you’ll have 26 full weeks of freedom to pursue other aspects of your life year-round.
A 1099 position is a tax category that applies to independent contractors and entrepreneurs. As an independent contractor, you have full control over your schedule, better pay negotiation power, and ultimately control where you work. You are also fully responsible for paying taxes, maintaining insurance, and managing your savings. At the end of every year, you receive a 1099-NEC form instead of a W-2.
One of the most important things for a 1099 contractor to understand is how this distinction affects the way they are compensated. Like a W-2 employee, you will agree on an hourly fee and receive compensation from your employer. As an independent contractor, you are likely to be paid at a higher rate than a standard employee.
Here are some other factors to keep in mind:
VitalSolution has a number of long-standing relationships with tax, health insurance, student loan, and similar companies to help you understand these differences and make the right decisions for your needs.
Overall, neither employment model is better or worse — it is all about your personal preferences. If you plan to have a career in one hospital and find minimal tax liability appealing, regular employment is a good fit for you. If you prefer more variety, locum tenens positions offer short-term flexibility. However, if you want more freedom within your role, becoming an independent contractor can be a highly appealing anesthesiologist opportunity.
Working as a 1099 anesthesiologist offers you maximum career flexibility. Whether you want to travel the country and go on adventures or you maintain a busy schedule outside of work, this alternative career path allows you to design your perfect balance. With VitalSolution, finding a role like this is simple when working with our anesthesia recruitment team.
