Won't most hospitals wipe it clean for you if you sign a contract with them?

Eh. Maybe. You tend to get these big signing bonuses if you sign a contract with hospitals in more rural areas or those who have trouble attracting physicians to the area. Usually there's a catch. They usually expect you to work "X" number of years and by so many years of working with them to bring in a certain amount of revenue for them. If you don't there may be reductions in salary(or receive less percentage of revenue) or requirement to pay back a portion of the original bonus, etc.

I'm up around $250,000 for now.
