I find it helpful to have bookmarked for those times in clinic when I need quick information on an injection or specific problem.

The rural recruitment and retainment network is a non-profit that helps hospitals recruit physicians and other health care personnel. This is a great place to look if you are looking to serve in smaller communities. They also offer help with job placement.
