What does extra supervised mentorship time cost per hour?

In at least one published mentorship, the hours beyond the included block are billed separately. Knowing that rate in advance keeps a clinician from being surprised in the third week of the month.

The extra-hour rate in one reported program

Plastic Surgery Practice describes one mentorship program this way: "For a monthly fee of $500, participants receive eight hours of supervised training per month, with additional hours available at $150 per hour." In that program, extra time costs $150 an hour.

How to use that figure

This is one program's published rate, not a rate for everyone. It is still useful because it shows the shape of the pricing: a set fee for a block of hours, then a per-hour charge for anything beyond it.

When you compare programs around Morristown, or in the neighboring metropolitan market, ask the same two questions of each. How many hours does the monthly fee include, and what is the per-hour charge once they are used? A low monthly fee with a high extra-hour rate can cost more than a higher fee with a modest one, depending on how much supervision you need.

Fee versus extra-hour rate

The monthly fee is the routine detail. The extra-hour rate is what should change your decision if you expect to need more supervised time than the block provides.

For wider background, Wikipedia covers apprenticeship and clinical supervision.

Price a light month and a heavy month

Before you agree to anything, work out your monthly bill under a light month and a heavy month. If the two numbers are far apart, the extra-hour rate is the figure to negotiate.
