商品簡介
Based on first-hand experience, Dr. Kirsten Evans presents an easy-to-under-stand primer on how new medical doctors can find a job that is appropriate for them in terms of their values and long-term goals. Since 67 percent of doctors leave their first position within two years, this is a much-needed book. Dr. Evans discusses the process of finding a job and offers checklists and websites to aid busy persons in considering their choices. She delineates a timetable and plan of action. Her points are illustrated with examples---including good and bad medical resumes. In her witty style, she lays out points to consider in choosing your location and type of practice: private practice, hospital or corporate-owned practice, academic medicine, government positions, international heath, rural health, and solo practice. She leads readers through the job search, including questions to ask at the interviews and what to look out for in the contract. She warns readers to start the process early so that they have time to get their documentation and credentials in order. She provides details for foreign doctors who wish to practice in the United States. Her section on women doctors suggests some questions that women should consider in making their decisions so that they will not get trapped in positions that do not meet their needs or those of their family.

Perhaps I wouldn't have ended up working 100 hours a week, on call every other weekend, and working for 60 percent of my market value. Trust me; you never think it will happen to you. With Dr. Evans' insight, it won't
This book is a wonderful step by step guide through the maze that is finding a new job. Useful for both first timers and those of us who had to go through it again, it's well worth the time."

"From the beginning of my professional career, your advice in this book has guided me all along the way." |Maria Perez, M.D.
