Some of Our Popular Services

       Preparing for the job search and going through the interviews and negotiations can be a daunting process. There are a variety of components from start to finish in finding ones first job, or re-starting the process at any point in ones' career. The lack of formal education we as physicians get in this topic, and from my own personal experience, was one of the reasons I created this website and service. It first started as a place to compile information, tips, strategies to aid in the process that I found helpful. Given the ever increasing complexity of the physician job search/preparation process, Employment Agreements arrangements, and the restrictions being placed on physicians’ ability to practice in today’s employment marketplace, a thorough review of all application documentation (Cover Letter, Curriculum Vitae) and physician Employment Agreements is more prudent than ever.​
