Physician Job Searching: Comprehensive is the Key

ATTORNEY ADVERTISING

When it comes to the job search process, I am often asked by physicians "when is the right time to start?" In my experience, finding the best job for you is less about starting your job search at the right time, than it is about doing it all comprehensively.

In order to find the best job for you, your job search has to be thorough and wide-reaching. That isn't to say you have to look for jobs all over the country, but you must consider all markets in which you are potentially interested. Stopping at the jobs you have heard are open through word of mouth will not cut it- not if you want the leverage and bargaining power it will take to land the employment deal you deserve. When you are ready to begin your physician job search, you must ensure you have considered all possible options that may work for you and your desires. Accepting a job while wondering if something has been left on the table is a less-than-desirable situation to land. Ideally you sign your employment contract knowing that no stone has gone unturned, and you will not face any unpleasant surprises along the way.
