Who hires surgeons?

Surgeons are hired by hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare organizations. The hiring process typically involves the following steps:

- The organization posts a job opening.

- Interested surgeons submit their resumes and credentials.

- The organization screens the applicants and selects a few candidates for interviews.

- The candidates are interviewed by a panel of administrators and physicians.

- The organization makes a hiring decision and offers the position to the candidate of their choice.

In some cases, surgeons may also be hired through a locum tenens agency, which can be used to temporarily fill gaps in a healthcare organization's staff.
