I was offered a job with Arthrex recently and considering taking it, however, one of the docs in the area I would cover is related to me. I contacted corporate and they said its no big deal, but I'm still worried. I don't have the cash to hire a lawyer to investigate, but I don't want to get my ass in a sling.
You guys are kidding right. This can cause a lot of issues. You are better off if you have someone else cover him.
Technically, you would have to be an immediate family member such as son, brother, etc. for their to be a problem. Realistically, no one cares. Companies hire doctors children all the time. if the money involved is less than $1m, no one is going to bother to give it a moment's thought. And, while you may not be an idiot, you have an enormous amount to learn. You'll starve to death if you try to make a living on one doctor's business. You better be able to produce.
