Physician Search FAQs

I will finish my residency next year. When should I begin my search?
Although many of our clients have immediate needs, forming a relationship with your Search Consultant now will expedite the process when the time comes to make contact with potential employers. Use this time to allow your Search Consultant to get to know you and gain an understanding of your unique needs (practice type, desired locations, amenities, etc.).

Many physicians also sign contracts early in their residencies. A potential employer may consider offering you a stipend or pay for a portion of a fellowship. Beginning your search now may open the door to these opportunities.

How do I start the process?
Contact the Aureus Medical Physician Search Division by phone, email, or through our website and you will immediately be connected to one of our experienced Search Consultants. Your Search Consultant will first want to learn about you, your goals, and interests so as to provide you with the highest level of service possible. Then, all of the necessary information pertinent to your search will be collected and the process of matching you with opportunities we represent begins. Aureus Medical will handle all aspects of the search process from beginning to end, from CV and interview consultation to providing logistical support for your relocation.

How long will my search take?
The length of a physician search is dependent on a number of factors, including position availability, the demand for your practice area, and the requirements you have discussed with your Search Consultant. Certainly, the decision-making timetable of the healthcare organization is a significant factor. Fortunately, Aureus Medical is able to expedite the process for you due to our knowledge of the physician market, our nationwide network, and our experience in physician placement. Once your Search Consultant has collected all of the necessary information from you, the search process will begin immediately.

Will a search affect my salary?
No. Our fees are paid for by the healthcare organization. There is no cost to you and a search will not affect your salary.

What is Aureus Medical’s confidentiality policy?
Your search is kept in the strictest of confidence and your CV is never sent to a healthcare organization without your approval. We understand the importance of protecting your anonymity.

How may I best involve my family in the search process?
Aureus Medical understands and respects the important role that a family may play in the decision making process. We encourage physicians to bring their family members with them on an onsite interview to learn about the community, it’s culture, school systems, religious organizations, arts, and recreational offerings. Typically, the healthcare organization will work with your Search Consultant in coordinating tours and visits. Your Search Consultant also will speak with your spouse to determine his or her individual needs or concerns.

Who covers the travel costs for my interviews and do I make my own arrangements?
Aureus Medical will handle all logistical arrangements with regards to your on site interview, including scheduling, transportation, and hotel accommodations. The cost associated with your visit is paid for by the potential employer. Your Search Consultant will work closely with you and the healthcare organization to fulfill special requests, such as a tour of the community and visits to schools, religious organizations, and local attractions. It’s important to us that you receive as much information as possible about both the practice and the community when making a decision about your future practice.

In what areas of the country do you focus?
Aureus Medical places physicians with healthcare organizations nationwide. Our extensive network ensures you have a broad range of choices with regards to locations
