www.aaphp.org is the only web
page exclusively dedicated to the needs of PM and PH physicians.
We
created this site and its review of postings from other journals and sites
because searching other web sites and journals for jobs specifying PM or PH
physicians is likely to be an exercise in frustration few if any will be
listed as such. To find jobs suitable for PM and PH physicians -- one must look
under multiple categories both physician, and non-physician.
www.wantedjobs.com is a
master site that lists jobs from over 100 other sites. It also enables
applicants to post jobs on almost 100 sites with one resume submission (mostly
through Resume Rabbit). This site
includes jobs in the private sector and military, but does not seem to well
cover other federal, state or local jobs. Many of the jobs listed are not on the
AAPHP or other sites easily accessed by PM and PH physicians and circumstances
make it difficult or impossible for us to abstract these to www.aaphp.org because of
commercial ownership issues. Another problem is that this site is just loaded
with annoying banner and pop-up ads. On 1/13/03 I (Joel Nitzkin) navigated this
site, as follows, and found the following. This is provided as a suggested way
for other PM and PH physicians to use this site to locate job opportunities: In
the job search page, I specified Healthcare/Medical/Social Services. The keywords were as follows. The
numbers represent individual listings, many of which are duplicated so the
total number of jobs is less than the number of listings.
1.
Epidemiologist
11 jobs listed, -- mostly
healthcare and industrial settings
2.
Medical
Epidemiologist 5 jobs listed
3.
Medical
Director 500 job listings
4.
Public Health
Physician none listed
5.

6.
Research 500
jobs listed, almost all private companies and healthcare, not academia or
federal (from the limited number I looked at 10 per
page)
7.
Preventive
Medicine 91 jobs listed, almost all US military
The
Emory site (http://cfusion.sph.emory.edu/PHEC/phec.cfm
) is of special
interest because it includes the broadest array of jobs for persons with public
health training and probably the best list of other employment links for persons
with public health related training.
www.usajobs.com is probably the
best-consolidated listing of federal, non-military, job
opportunities.
www.jobspublichealth.com/topjobs.html
is updated every two weeks and contains an extensive array of public health
jobs, may international, some of which will be of interest to PHPM
physicians.
Epidemiology
Monitor is a
subscription newsletter which lists about 200 epidemiology jobs at any point in
time, about half of which will be of interest to PM and PH physicians. Issues
related to commercial ownership of the data preclude our reproduction of these
listings . PM and PH physicians considering epidemiologist job opportunities are
urged to network with academic and public sector epidemiology programs, most of
which are likely to have a subscription to this
newsletter.
