We obviously cant say, but is located in Providence. Be careful with any contract. Make sure that the local hospital is supporting the hire. In most cases, you will have to sign two contracts in this situation, one with the practice and one with the hospital. We have dealt with this almost every year for the past 5, where someone inevitably goes and gets a contract in Providence and it turns out to be a nightmare situation. Talk to people that are working there and also people that are working there no longer. Any reputable employer would give you contacts from people that used to work there. And ask questions, questions, and questions. A contract is only as good as the person that writes it. 3 years is a long time to be stuck in a bad situation. And always remember this - anything that sounds too good to be true, typically is and you should be cautious about. We have come across one in particular.
