Presented By: Locum Tenens Section (LT-AAEM)
More and more emergency physicians — whether by choice or due to a group’s cost-cutting measures — are being classified and paid as independent contractors. That shift requires selecting a business structure, but the rules and rewards of incorporation are anything but straightforward.
Join the AAEM Locum Tenens Section for a practical session with Justine Zhou, CPA MBA, and CEO of the Zhou Agency. Justine will unpack the key differences between sole proprietorship and S-corp formation, including the tax advantages, legal implications, and the step-by-step process of setting up your own business.
If you’re a physician receiving 1099 pay, this talk will help you choose the right structure — and start taking full advantage of the benefits that come with independence.
