Hospital Careers

Find hospital jobs on www.jobjobhealth.com/lp-hospital-jobs.html

Hospitals offer healthcare workers rewarding employment at large-scale facilities dedicated to serving the medical needs of a community. As an important source of medical jobs, hospitals remain a significant employer and career destination for healthcare workers. Hospitals are often some of the largest private employers in a community, requiring hundreds of medical workers to maintain a desired level of patient care. Hospital employees frequently have the benefit of caring for patients in a highly collaborative, stimulating work environment.
Hospitals employ a diverse group of medical workers to provide complete and professional in-house patient care. Hospitals deal with all types of major medical, surgical and diagnostic treatments and require a trained, experienced medical staff to support those areas, especially for care involving overnight stays. Healthcare jobs found in hospital settings include those in pharmacy, respiratory, anesthesiology, physical therapy, nursing, emergency, surgery, oncology, laboratory, X-ray and administration. The wide variety of employment at hospitals gives employees exposure to different medical career paths as they go about their workday.
Hospital jobs provide excellent salaries and benefits. With hospitals generally compensating physicians better than private practice, many prefer to work in hospital settings. Employment at hospitals offer physicians many advantages over private practice with not only better pay, but also income guarantees, flexible work hours, and higher bonuses. The median compensation for primary-care specialists is also expected to continue increasing. The benefits of working at hospitals are a strong draw for medical workers.
Physicians with specialized training are employed at hospitals to deal with specific medical issues. Hospital jobs available to physicians may be one of the following: Anesthetist, Cardiologist, Endocrinologist, Epidemiologist, General practitioners, Gynecologist, Immunologist, Neurologist, Nutritionist, Oncologist, Ophthalmologist, Pathologist, Psychiatrist, Pediatrician, and Radiologist. Hospital ties to local universities make them a center for educational training enabling healthcare workers to further their certification.

Top health care careers in 2011

Looks like there is more information being published out there indicating that hiring within healthcare for the next year will be increasing. Carol Tice,http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/12/06/top-industries-hiring-in-2011/  has written an article that highlights the perceived hottest industries that will increase hiring for 2011. As you might have guessed, healthcare is on the list and even better rated as number one. The folks over at PayScale “talked to two employment experts: Career expert Robin Ryan, author of ‘60 Seconds and You’re Hired,’ and Laurence Shatkin, author of ‘2011 Career Plan.’ “
“There’s never been a recession in this sector, says Shatkin, and demand will continue to be strong next year. Jobs in demand include home health care aides and registered nurses ($61,148). Hot specialties within nursing include nurse anesthetists ($144,821), nurse practitioners ($86,774) and psychiatric nurses ($55,155).” By the way, you can access the pay rates of all jobs within healthcare by job title and location using the PayScale widgets we have on our site http://www.jobjobhealth.com/salary-charts-calculator.html
Of course, there are many other positions within healthcare that are not related to direct patient care-jobs within biotech, pharma and the life science industries as well as the hot jobs within healthcare I.T.-electronic medical records, medical coders, etc. It appears that employment within certain healthcare industries will be potentially strong for the coming year.

Physician pay, career choices and gender

With half of medical students in the U.S. being female, it is surprising to find out that female physicians are being paid less than their male counterparts. This discrepancy is present for new physicians starting in the job market and as well as specialty areas such as cardiothoracic surgery and pulmonology . Several sources point out that female physicians many times specialize in areas where the pay is traditionally less such as family practice or pediatrics. Careers in these specialties can offer flexibility with scheduling and maintaining a work-family life balance. However….this does not explain the difference in compensation for new physicians with equal responsibilities and hours.
An article that addresses this issue and provides some interesting statistics from a survey of both female and male physicians can be found at http://tinyurl.com/48ylnxf  The authors have noted that the pay discrepancies have been steadily increasing for years even after taking into account specialties and hours worked.
This data is disturbing considering that physicians, both male and female, are bright and assertive individuals and one has to think how this can exist. A career in medicine is challenging enough without having to battle for what seems to be a given-equal pay for equal work. Even coming from a career in nursing which is still predominately female, this is puzzling. Pay or compensation in nursing is very often based on tangibles-years of experience and degrees obtained regardless of gender.
Something to think about and best of luck in your health care career.
