Covid-19 has changed the healthcare industry in a variety of ways including administrative processes, patient care, and how healthcare workers perform their jobs. How physicians conduct their job search is also an area that’s gone through changes that prospective job seekers should consider.

One way that physicians are changing in their choices is through a lesser desire to relocate to new places. Since Covid-19 started, many candidates want to work where they currently live and are less inclined to travel for job interviews. Once life returns to “normal,” virtual interviews might continue to be commonplace.

Likewise, physicians might also expand on virtual options for patient visits and follow-ups with ways that are more convenient for each party. Learning about the technology behind this would be a great asset to any resume. The American Medical Association has made note that incorporating telemedicine in a post-Covid world can be a good thing. This is also changing the world of rural practices, many of which are now relying on telemedicine methods and even telephone methods to keep in touch with patients who don’t have access to the internet.

Many practices are also facing the issue of nurses and physicians quitting their positions due to the increased stress and demands of their jobs. If you are a physician or nurse looking to change jobs, consider how future positions will change as you enter them versus how the jobs will be after Covid-19.

Ideally, the future of family medicine is based on collaborative teamwork and the pandemic has taught family practitioners how to interact and work with other specialties. Prospective job candidates should consider what types of changes this will bring to the work environment and continue to educate themselves on the trends of the future.
