This is a four-session
workshop designed to provide information to those contemplating or planning to
apply for clinical teaching positions.  Today’s
clinical teaching market demands a tremendous amount from candidates.   Because of the vast differences in the
structure and expectations of clinical jobs, applying to the clinical market is
demanding in a way that is very different from the more traditional academic
market, and there is a paucity of information about the process that is
specific to clinicians.  Although this
has always been true, today’s extraordinarily competitive market makes these
information and preparation disparities all the more worrisome.  This workshop is designed to fill this
information gap and is broken down into four sessions.  The firstsession focuses on data about the range of jobs in the clinical market and
presents information about entry into the meet market as well as other
application processes.  The second
session focuses on how to get ready for the meet market itself and will include
a few mock interviews.  The third session
focuses on the call back process.  The
workshop concludes with a session on handling offers and provides some time for
more open discussion and questions.  Each
session will feature a panel of clinicians who will talk about the topic at
hand and who will conduct brief moots if interest and time allow.
