Next Steps
Now that we’ve given you some peace of mind, here are the next steps:
- 1. Determining your location. In the beginning of your recruitment experience, one of clinical recruiters at USACS will help tailor and narrow down one of our eligible locations and openings with you based on your interest, so you don’t have to navigate that alone.
- 2. Obtaining your visa. From there, your USACS recruiter will connect you to our immigration attorney, who will then ask you several questions to determine which type of immigration help you will need in order to work at your selected site of interest and will offer some practical advice specific to your immigration application. Our attorney will also cover any questions you have, give you an idea on specific timelines, and next steps in the process.
- 3. Interview Process. Your USACS recruiter will then connect you to one of our medical directors based on your interest to set up both a phone and onsite interview to discuss site-specific clinical details. If you mutually agree to move forward, your USACS recruiter will arrange your interview and provide any paid travel you may need for both you and your spouse.
- 4. Connect with your colleagues. Next, our welcoming interview experience gives you the chance to connect with our clinical leadership onsite, your future clinical teammates, and our hospital partners who will all have a part in your successful transition into USACS and their facility.
- 5. Completing the process. Lastly, after your employment agreement is in place, our immigration team will work hard to help you to have the best experience possible with USACS.
