This presentation will build off of last year’s wildly successful presentation and include tips on job searches and facets of practice that may affect job satisfaction. The presentation will be enhanced this year by several pre-conference social media sessions that will gather information to better answer the audience’s concerns. This is a presentation that will involve five rehab physicians discussing their various practice settings and structure. As a collective group, we can discuss academic, semi-academic, private practice, military, and veterans affairs practice settings. The panelists will discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with each practice. There will then be a question-and-answer session.

Learning Objectives:

Understand basic differences between private practice, academic, DoD, VA, and county practice settings.
Recognize some basic distinctions in the job market between different practice settings.
Recognize basic advantages and disadvantages to each practice setting.
