Ask who is on the team

Find out how physicians, NPs, PAs, nurses, and support staff work together during a normal week.

Discuss patient mix, supervision, clinical resources, credentialing, scheduling, and what happens with complex cases.

A useful answer includes who trains you, how long it takes, and when you are expected to carry a full caseload.

Ask about visits, call, documentation expectations, and the support available when the day runs long.

Share your resume and review current opportunities.
