Any specialty - me

Posted: Jul 26, 2013

When an ad says Specialty: Any. What does that mean? If you have only done Radiology for years and only 2 or 3 years of acute care 20 years ago, would you feel comfortable applying for something as vague as "any specialty". Has anyone out there applied for a job specialty they have never done and still got through it? thank you

any specialty - what I think

There are 2 ways to look at it.

1. Just because you haven't done a specialty before doesn't mean you can't learn it in a short amount of time. You'll most likely have to test in that specialty before you're hired, anyway.
2. However, if you say you've done that specialty, and you get the job and they find out you can't do it, you will have shot yourself in the foot with that company.

Any specialty you have typed in acute care, just not solely for that specialty. So, REALLY it's much easier and you can catch on quickly, because you focus on ONE area rather than many.

There's a site I'd been referencing for a long time when I couldn't find a doctor through Fluency, which is often. It was always easy, user friendly and reliable, and I could usually find the doctor I was looking for under his or her specialty. Now it's been changed to a newer, sleeker pretty look, but the format for finding a doctor doesn't work and is not helpful at all. For instance, in looking up, say, Pulmonary doctors, it shows an assortment of doctors of variou ...
