The site also has a running activity line with who is doing what and when. They provide terrific popular blogs, Questions and Answers, even feature specific emergency department and residency programs. There’s something for everyone on this site including some pretty terrific jobs – and they are exclusively for emergency physicians.

If you are a member of AAEM and will only take a job with an employer who commits to the tenets of the association, the AAEM.org job board may be your best bet for job searching. You won’t find a lot of quantity but the quality will be there. In some cases, the listings are blind with no employer provided, so you have to submit your CV to the AAEM job board administrator who will then refer it to the employer.

This is all quite archaic, but at least you can be fairly certain it won’t end up plastered on a telephone pole in Dubuque. Obviously if you are interested in an academic job, the board at SAEM.Org is the place to go.

EDOpenings.com is a brand new player in the field with great potential. It is run by Melissa Moody, who has been involved with print recruitment classifieds for years. It is a fairly simple format, state driven and though very short on numbers right now, I expect it to grow rapidly. My only complaint about this site is they are set-up for physician registration on site, so that employers can click on the option “find a physician.” Granted, you must have an account and log in to utilize the function. They have made a nice start and are definitely worth a look; just give them a little time to get up and running. By August when the Fall market begins, they should be a serious player.

Finally, I couldn’t do a piece on this topic without pointing out the job search boards based on the ads that appear in printed Emergency Medicine monthly magazines such as ACEP News. Classified job listings in the back of that publication can also be found at www.imngmedjobs.com, a generalist site that gives you the option to immediately choose EM and narrow your search by job title and/or employer.

The site has fewer than 100 emergency medicine jobs but the details are there and so are some of the smaller groups and hospital employers. Even the Annals of Emergency Medicine gives you the option of skipping their classified pages and go straight to www.elsevierhealthcareers.com.
