Each year, CareerMD hosts a career-planning and networking reception in Birmingham, AL. The first annual Reception took place in 2008 and attracted residents and fellows at local teaching hospitals including American Sports Medicine Institute, Baptist Health System, Physicians Medical Center, St. Vincent’s East, University of Alabama, and many others.

CareerMD Receptions follow a more intimate format than that of the CareerMD Career Fairs. Space is limited, which provides employers with an opportunity for one-on-one discussions with trainees. Each employer is seated at a designated station to facilitate comfortable discussions.

Employers who register to participate may send two representatives. Neither booths nor tabletop displays are permitted, however handouts and giveaways are acceptable.

Reception Promotion

CareerMD promotes the Birmingham Reception to all teaching hospitals that are within reasonable driving distance of the venue. Most residents and fellows who attend will be in training at local programs, however this event is widely promoted. A list of all teaching hospitals in the Birmingham area can be found here.
