Finding a job in an overcrowded market: getting what you want.

Abstract

As the number of fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeons entering the workforce increases, so does the competition for available practice opportunities. The process of finding employment has seemingly become more involved as the relative availability of positions has declined over recent years. To manage this new environment, new graduates need to become much more proactive in the process of seeking and obtaining orthopaedic trauma positions.
