Internal Medicine Job Offer: 9 pro criteria for top roles
If you check these nine points properly, your success rate for finding a truly good internal medicine role becomes very high:
Case mix & focus
General internal medicine, cardiology, gastro, pulmonology — does the mix match your goals?
Realistic workload
Average patients/day, ward size, discharge workflow — does it look sustainable?
Staffing & support
MAs, case management, secretarial support — who truly takes work off your plate?
On-call model
Frequency, intensity, compensation, time off — transparent rather than vague.
Onboarding
Is there a 30/60/90-day plan? Who supervises you and when?
Development
Training budget, rotations (if in residency), additional qualifications — is growth supported?
Hospital vs MVZ: which internal medicine role fits you best?
Both can be perfect — if they match your goals:
Hospital (inpatient): broad exposure, acute care & structured training
- Pros: broad case mix, acute medicine, on-call supplements, interdisciplinary teams (depending on the hospital).
- Risks: heavy on-call burden, high admin load, staffing fluctuations.
MVZ / outpatient: predictability & clear consultation structure
- Pros: often more predictable schedules, fewer on-calls, continuity of care.
- Risks: pace can still be very high — quality depends on organization and team support.
Interview: 8 questions that reveal the real quality of an internal medicine job offer
Ask these questions — good employers answer them clearly:
Ward/outpatient — numbers matter more than promises.
Nursing/MAs/secretarial/case management — who does what?
Frequency, intensity, compensation and time off.
Consultant presence matters.
A plan prevents overload and saves months.
Ward/outpatient/endoscopy/echo — depending on the site.
If it’s unclear, it becomes costly later.
This makes “hidden expectations” visible.
Contract & daily reality: 6 points many doctors underestimate
- Working time model: full-time/part-time, core hours, weekends.
- On-call duties: clear rules and clear compensation/time-off logic.
- Overtime: tracking + time off/payment written in the contract.
- Training/CPD: budget, protected time, internal standards.
- Role clarity: what truly belongs to your role — and what doesn’t?
- Notice period: predictability when switching or starting.
