Why Contract?
Contract pay is quoted hourly and trades off benefits and tenure. Compare the full package against a permanent offer.
Contract roles let you evaluate an employer, location, and patient population before converting to permanent.
Contract roles come as agency W-2 or 1099. The structure decides who handles taxes, malpractice, and benefits, so confirm it first.
