Guides for hiring and career decisions

Short, practical documents built from the work of running permanent heart and vascular searches.

CT Hiring Readiness Checklist

A 9-page program workbook to complete before a cardiothoracic requisition opens. It records what the hiring team already knows across eight preparation areas: reason for the vacancy, role scope and setting, schedule and call, compensation structure, the decision path, the interview process, relocation and start logistics, and employer-required credentials.

The Clinician's Guide to Your Next CT Surgery Role

A 10-page clinician guide for evaluating a cardiothoracic role before you commit. It works through your priorities, the work itself, schedule and call, team and support, reading the agreement, using published compensation sources, points worth slowing down for, and a weighted decision scorecard.

The Cardiovascular Career Growth Playbook

A 9-page workbook for cardiovascular clinicians who want to direct the next stage of their career rather than react to it. It covers a career audit, building a skill stack you can describe, sustainable role design, staying visible in the quiet market, preparing for a negotiation, a quarterly plan, and an opportunity matrix.

2026 CT Compensation Snapshot

A 9-page brief on reading published compensation data for cardiothoracic and vascular roles. Rather than restating figures out of context, it explains what each published source measures, how role families differ, what a complete offer contains, and where to read the primary sources directly.
