From sourcing to the interview, hiring and onboarding process, working with new graduates can be both exciting and challenging. However, new graduates may have questions or considerations that are different from more experienced providers. Other organizations with training programs may seek to retain their residents and fellows after they complete their programs. Join fellow AAPPR and AIR members for an in-depth panel discussion on best practices for ensuring success when working with residents and fellows throughout the recruitment and onboarding process.
