New England
The picturesque birthplace of America, New England
boasts world-class research hospitals and some of the nation's top
teaching facilities, affiliated with America's most distinguished
universities. Many of these excellent facilities pioneer groundbreaking
research and lead the nation in innovative procedures and advanced
clinical drug trials.
The work is fast-paced, demanding and eminently rewarding.
You'll put your clinical skills to the test alongside other talented
health care professionals who enjoy the region's unparalleled career
opportunities, rich patriotic tradition, and the country's highest
concentration of historic sights. From lively cities such as Boston
to its quaint villages, the region offers an ideal family-friendly
environment; New England schools are a model for the nation.
Four
distinct seasons encourage outdoor play, from summer clambakes on
the shores of Cape Cod to skiing in Vermont, the winter sports capital.
And visitors return to New England by the millions to witness nature's
vivid performance each autumn. Peak viewing time for the riotous
reds and golds of the changing foliage varies every year, but you'll
experience it all from an insider's perspective.
