Medical Career Resources

Medical careers include physicians, nurses, allied health, and administrative roles. The right resources help you find jobs, maintain credentials, and present your experience well.

Job Boards and Recruiters

Use Indeed, LinkedIn, and healthcare-specific sites (e.g., Health eCareers, PracticeMatch, DocCafe for physicians). Many health systems list on their own sites. Recruiters who specialize in healthcare can help for clinical and leadership roles.

Certifications and Licensure

List all relevant licenses and certifications (e.g., RN, MD, PA, CNA, CMA). Include state(s) and expiration if relevant. Credentials are critical in medical resumes.

Resume Tips for Medical Roles

Highlight your credentials first. Use bullets that show patient care, safety, and outcomes. Include relevant systems (EHR, Epic, Cerner) and any quality or leadership experience. For physicians, include training, fellowships, and board certification.
