Yes, that is part of a lot of compensation packages.
Some people just don't understand the amount of money that a doctor can make, no matter what specialty they go into, and the compensation packages that can be negotiated. Doctors make bank.
If they want you, and want to keep you, .... Well you know. Think NFL. It really is a lot like how the NFL players are paid, when first starting out, and even down the road.
My cousin's husband, a Cornell MD grad, was offered a great salary, total student loan pay-off, and "help" with buying a house that looked like TARA in Gone with the Wind, ( Before the north got there)
What help that was, I don't exactly know.
The only thing was, they had to move to Tennessee.
He did.
He is a heart surgeon.
