Not all opportunities are created equal. It was important to filter out all the offers to choose the best location, workload and environment to receive work life balance as a hospitalist.

Look for life/work balance. As a hospitalist, I found that working for a hospital or a care management company offers the best balance.

A nice location where I can enjoy life after work. A friendly EMR. And a manageable workload so I can focus on patient care.
