ATTORNEY ADVERTISING
In working with physicians who are embarking on their job search, and young physicians just out of training especially, I find it is very common to have an instinct of staying close to home, or close to their residency program, or simply settling on one geographic region in general. I cannot emphasize how big of a mistake this can be. In beginning a physician job search, it is crucial that physicians realize that casting a wide net can benefit them hugely in the long run.
The medical field and physician employment contracts can vary greatly based on geographic region. As I have discussed here before, geographic regions can impact physician salaries, medical malpractice coverage, and other important benefits. So when a physician is looking for his or her first or next job position, they owe it to themselves to see what the market has to offer. It may seem like a given that your hometown is the best place for you land, but you may think very differently once given concrete job offers that provide much more in the way of compensation and benefits, even if only a few states away from "home."
