Ask the doctor: answers may surprise you.
In summary, physicians tend to base their final decision not only on the combination and culmination of all of the information that they gain about the location and the practice opportunity, but it seems that the final decision is mainly based on a trust factor. This trust factor lies in the belief that comments the administrator may have made while walking the halls with the candidate were true. Many physicians comment that they decide to go to one location over the other when both are equally as impressive in terms of quality of life and quality of practice style, because they trusted and had a higher comfort level and established a rapport more quickly with one administration or medical staff over another.
