Market Survey for the Practice-Seeking Physician

Hi Doctor,

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey and for sharing your personal experiences and opinions formulated during your “job hunt”.

Finding a suitable practice opportunity can be frustrating, but if you’re presented with the proper information at the outset, it doesn’t have to be.

The input you share today will help address current shortfalls in present-day practice opportunity advertising.

The tabulated results will be the impetus for major changes in the way practice opening information is presented to the practice-seeking physician.

Your anonymous participation and input is greatly valued. Your selection criteria will be tabulated and shared with “hiring authorities”. Your opinion will strongly influence the way practice opportunity descriptions will be written.

Our goal is to best serve you, the opportunity-seeking physician. Thanks again for sharing your perspective in this survey.

Ready…let’s go!

The first three items are often voiced as being “the” major factor in choosing a practice opportunity. Please rank its relative importance to you in your practice selection process.

Select “1”, for the factor that carries the most weight in selecting a new opportunity, followed by your second most important factor, and then your third.

--------------------------------------------------------

The remainder of the survey focuses on factors you would like to see in a practice opportunity description so you’re able to make an informed decision.

In other words, as you’re considering job opportunities posted throughout the web, how important is knowing this particular factor upfront so you can decide if further exploration is warranted.

The ratings you’ll be using for each factor’s relative importance are:

  • Vital - (information you must know upfront)
  • Important - (Information that would be very helpful in my decision making)
  • Nice-To-Know - (nice, but can be obtained at a later date )
  • N/A - (not applicable)
