Choosing which positions to apply for
Most hiring managers are looking for a provider with relevant experience, or at least a clinical rotation, within the posted specialty.
Apply for positions based on what you're interested in and in which you have completed a rotation. For example, if you are interested in working within an acute setting, it would be important to have a clinical rotation in a hospital or acute care environment. If you are interested in working in an outpatient family medicine clinic, it would be important to have completed a family or internal medicine rotation.
When thinking about positions to apply for:
- Consider whether you are looking for an inpatient or outpatient position. Do you want a hybrid position that works both inpatient and outpatient?
- Are you passionate about a certain specialty because of personal experiences? Do you want to work in a certain specialty, or are you wanting a broader experience or patient panel? Hiring leaders are interested in seeing that you are passionate about the specialty/focus you are applying for.
- We suggest focusing your application on positions and specialties in which you are interested in working.
- We do not recommend applying for positions across multiple specialties or focus areas.
