Hiring Practices

Some surgeons work for the hospital where they completed their residency. Others begin working in a group practice.

The hiring process begins with a background check of the applicant. Employers evaluate past work experience and malpractice lawsuit records. The applicants are interviewed by several of the doctors from the facility they are applying to. Employers look for applicants with good communication skills. They look for surgeons who can relate to many different people that come to the practice for care.

Advancement Opportunities

Many surgeons advance their careers by getting additional training and learning new skills. Surgeons can choose to specialize in one area of the body, such as the brain or heart. After many years of experience, surgeons who work in hospitals or surgical centers may become administrators or teach in medical schools. Those who do research or teach at universities may become department heads. Some surgeons advance by opening a solo practice.
