If you find yourself scrolling past rural job listings, Zhen Chan, MD MBA FAAP breaks down a few reasons why you shouldn't be.
I help healthcare orgs hire physicians more efficiently AND improve trust and transparency in the recruitment process for physicians with Grapevyne using peer-to-peer recruiting. Also a practicing pediatrician!
Are you ruling out rural health positions too quickly? Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t scroll past those rural job listings if you’re looking for a new position: ? Higher Pay – Rural hospitals often offer bigger salaries, sign-on bonuses, and full loan repayment. ? Lower Cost of Living – Your paycheck stretches further. Affordable housing? Check. Relocation perks? Often included. ? Leadership Opportunities – Be more than just a number. Have a real say in decisions, your schedule, and patient care. ? Community Impact – You might be the provider a community desperately needs. Imagine being the go-to trusted doc and forming deep, meaningful patient relationships. This isn’t always the case but often times you’ll find these jobs can offer higher compensation, better work-life balance, and a chance to make an even stronger impact. #ruralhealth #healthcare #physicians #physicianjobs #doctors #doctorjobs National Rural Health Association Rural Health Information Hub
