Editorial Policy

Our guides

Every guide on MedJobList.com carries the same byline, MedJobList Team, and goes through the same checks before it's published. If a named outside contributor ever writes one, their name will be on it.

We track the openings employers publish, and that catalogue is what a guide draws on when it tells you what employers ask for. Our guides stay on the hiring side of healthcare, and clinical questions belong with a clinician.

What our guides cover

Our guides cover getting hired and building a career in US healthcare, and they're written for the point where you have to commit: whether a step is worth what it costs, and how much of your year it takes. Nothing here is medical, legal, or financial advice.

Requirements change, and they vary by state and by employer. Use a guide to get oriented, then confirm anything that costs you money or affects your license with the organization that sets the requirement.

Where our numbers come from

Wage and employment figures come from the agency that publishes them, named in the text with the period they cover. Where one body sets a fee, we name that body. Some prices are set by training providers and vary between them, and those we give as a range and say so.

Some numbers about our own listings are counted from the catalogue itself and refresh on their own. Where a number is a snapshot instead, the text says when we took it, so an old figure reads as an old figure.

Before a guide goes out

Every draft is checked against its sources a second time before it's published, and that second pass is independent of the first. It catches what a first read misses, often in a draft that looked clean.

Dates on guides

Every guide has a date on it: when it was published, or when we last updated it if we've changed it since. The date follows the content, moving when the writing, the FAQ or the illustration changes and staying put through routine site work.

Job listings

Listings come from the public career feeds that employers publish themselves, and we sync them regularly. When you apply, you land on the employer's own form.

The employer's own words

The description you read is the employer's own writing. We don't rewrite it or shorten it, and any pay figure on a listing is quoted from the posting itself.

When a listing closes

A listing closes once the posting stops appearing in the employer's feed across several syncs. A feed we can't reach never closes anything, so a bad sync on our end leaves real jobs where you can still find them.

Dates on listings

Every listing shows a posted date. It's the employer's own when their feed carries one, and otherwise it's the closest we have: an age like "30+ days ago" converted to a date, or the day we first saw the posting. Treat those two as approximate. Once a job closes, the page keeps the posting date and adds the day it closed.

Who runs MedJobList.com

MedJobList.com is an independent project, and a small one. It's owned and run on its own, with no employer, staffing agency, applicant tracking vendor, or training provider behind it.

Corrections

We check what we publish against current sources, and we recheck when something changes. Requirements change without an announcement, so readers are one of the ways we find out.

If you spot something that looks off, tell us. We'll check the claim against the source, fix what needs fixing, and the date on the page will move with it. Someone reads every message that comes in. Get in touch.
