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.​

Ancillary Services

Besides the job search, there are several other important items and considerations for the podiatry student, resident, graduating resident, and newly practicing physician. Check out some of the links and affiliate partners below for items such as board review, financial help, and student loan advice.

Board Review

Passing your podiatric board exam is a vital step in starting your career. Further, with the recent changes from ABFAS with a passing score for the PGY3/4 ITE counting towards BQ status, it is even more important to take these exams seriously. Check out our partners DPMQuestions and BoardWizards for the most comprehensive study packages for Foot/RRA exams (MCQ & CBPS) across ABFAS and ABPM certifying organizations.
