Why attend a CareerMD Career Fair?
Attending a CareerMD Career Fair gives you the opportunity to meet a large number of employers and explore a wide variety of prospective opportunities in one place, at one time. This is a FREE event that can help you plan the next stage of your career as a physician without ever having to travel to far-away job interviews or play phone-tag with physician employers. Meet dozens of prospective employers in one convenient location!

Will employers from my specialty be attending the CareerMD Career Fair?
CareerMD Career Fairs are for residents and fellows in all medical specialties and sub-specialties. Many of the employers attending this event are large healthcare systems that recruit for numerous facilities in multiple locations. These healthcare systems recruit and hire physicians across the full spectrum of medical specialties and sub-specialties. Even if you are in a highly specialized field, there will be employers at the Career Fair who will want to meet you.

What if I have a year or more of training ahead of me?
CareerMD Career Fairs are for residents and fellows in all stages of training, including those who have just begun their residencies.

• If you will be completing your training within the next year, these events are an ideal way to meet a large number of prospective employers and explore a wide range of opportunities in a single, convenient setting.
• If you have a year or more of training ahead of you, this is the perfect time to begin planning the next stage of your medical career. Physician employers want to meet you and get to know you as early as possible in the course of your training, so that they can have you in mind as vacancies arise. Meeting you now will also enable them to keep an eye out for specific opportunities that meet your geographic and other criteria.
• If you will soon complete a residency and begin fellowship training, it is not too soon for you to speak with employers that recruit for your future sub-specialty. The more specialized your field, the more important it is for you to become familiar with employers in your sub-specialty.
