How to Find Your First Attending Doctor Job #doctor #medstudent #resident

So how do you actually find these jobs? Your network is probably your most powerful tool. Medicine is a very small community, especially in certain fields, and everyone knows everyone getting a job is the same. You put the word out that you're looking for position and generally what you're looking for. You should especially talk with people in your current department because it's in their interest that their grads get the jobs they want. You should check the jobs board of your national specialty and you should check the websites of employers that interest you. It's fine to talk to headhunters. Just remember that they work for employers, not for you. They will try to sell you on a job. They might offer to fly you to interviews, put you up in hotels, that kind of thing. And that's fine. You can accept those offers as long as it doesn't make you feel obligated to then take the job. So think of those interviews as good practice, good fact finding, but not mutually obligating.
