You’ve come a long way since deciding to become a physician, and in just a couple of years, you’ll be in medical practice. 

And these years are going to fly by. Now is the time to plan your move from residency to practice. 

As always, the Texas Medical Association is here to help. 

TMA has published several new webinars that offer tips and information on many of the major decisions you’ll make at this point in your career. 

The webinars focus on preparing for practice, choosing the best practice for you, and tips for interviewing. And because we know you’re busy, the webinars are between 20 and 40 minutes long and you can access them whenever you want. 

But that’s not all. Each is free for TMA members thanks to a generous sponsorship by the Texas Medical Association Insurance Trust

And as always turn to the TMA Residents and Fellows Section for all the tools, information, and resources you need during this time in your career. 

Check out the four webinars below.

  • Licensure requirements. 

Residents: Picking the Practice Right for You

  • Determining what you want and what you need;
  • Pros and cons of different practice settings;
  • Identifying opportunities; and
  • Questions to ask to find the right fit. 

Residents: Preparing for Interviews 

You’re finishing residency and starting your job search – what do you need to do and know to sell yourself successfully? While job interviews may seem intimidating, with planning and practice you will find the right opportunity.  

Topics include:

  • Job search fundamentals;
  • Prepare your CV;
  • Interview guidance and tips; and
  • Questions you should ask.

Decisions you make today will affect you and your practice for years. That’s why launching an independent practice takes careful planning, no matter what drives you to take this giant step into your future.

  • Understanding practice setting, legal filings, and practice staffing;
