Guiding You Through the Job Selection Process

While you focus on your residency, a complex job selection process looms ahead. That process includes many important business and economic decisions. Most experts recommend that you begin your job search one full year before you finish your residency. If you are about to enter your final year of residency, you should start your job search now so that you are on a realistic pace to complete your search by the time you graduate. Over the next several months, our blog will offer you job selection tips in an effort to decrease any stress that you might be feeling about the process.

Dr. Koushik K. Shaw recently wrote an excellent book, The Ultimate Guide to Finding the Right Job After Residency. We will highlight some of Dr. Shaw’s recommendations and supplement his suggestions with additional advice and links to relevant websites. Many of the topics will be business-related, including salary and benefits negotiation; the job type that best fits you; performing due diligence in investigating a practice; and investing in disability insurance now to save you money later. However, we will also examine topics such as the interview process and potential pitfalls; the credentialing process; and your curriculum vitae or résumé.
