Medical Recruitment in the USA

His background includes healthcare, emergency medicine, engineering, technology, and marketing for some of today's Fortune 100 companies. He is a certified career coach, interview consultant, and author.

The interview is a strong interaction to expose physician and medical provider recruitment in the USA. As Foreign Medical Graduates Make it into America, we struggle to establish a network of connections early on. We do not focus on the job search task until very later on in the training path, sometimes rushing into making life-changing decisions that will crucially impact the first years of independent practice as an attending physician.

Throughout my career, I did personally get acquainted with the relationship between physician and recruiter. If guided in the right way, this one could be a fruitful one that will open a world of potential opportunities that, if balanced and considered the proper way, could lead to the right decision when looking for that "ideal dream job" that we all strive to find.

I hope this opens your mind to some other considerations that become crucial as you move along the educational journey. This one is an episode so juicy that I know it's going to elicit many great comments and interactions. Whatever your specialty becomes, there is always a team of recruiters willing to help you find the job you are looking for. Do your research. Search well and follow your heart! Good luck in this path. Interviewing will never stop.  Stay in touch and remain curious,

Best,

Alonso Osorio, M.D.
