For Clinical Professionals

Making a Thoughtful Physician Career Move

Questions for MD and DO physicians weighing a clinical, leadership, or practice opportunity.

Compensation matters. So do call expectations, clinical autonomy, staffing, and the patients you will serve.

Say what you want to change

Be specific about the issue: call volume, schedule, leadership opportunity, patient mix, or administrative support.

Ask about workflows, referral relationships, staffing, clinical support, and who makes operational decisions.

Explain a clinical challenge you handled and a time you improved care, communication, or a team.

Make sure the title, schedule, compensation, and support match the conversation you had.

Share your resume and review current opportunities.
