Practice Opportunity Day 2025

The Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce (GBHCW) Practice Opportunity Fair is returning, and The Medical College of Georgia (MCG) is one of the hosting sites!

The Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce cosponsors a job fair each year in conjunction with Georgia-based graduate medical education programs to link resident physicians with employment opportunities around the state.

“We hope this event provides these up-and-coming physicians the opportunity to connect with hospitals scattered throughout the state,” said Terri McFadden, M.D., the Board's chairperson. “Since several of the hospitals and clinics participating are from rural areas, this event aligns with the Board’s mission to support medical education programming that encourages doctors to practice in medically underserved communities.”

Additional Information

Exhibitors must be recruiting for practice opportunities in Georgia and cannot be for-profit recruiters or recruitment companies. Exhibitors will be provided with a 6” x 2” table and two chairs as display space. Small vertical banners are allowed as long as they do not interfere with another exhibitor’s display space. Please ensure that all materials will fit within your space, or you may be asked to take them down.

Also, due to space constructions, please limit the number of individuals at your booth to two people at a time.

Staff from the Graduate Medical Education Office and Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce will be available for any questions.

Exhibitors may begin setting up their displays at 10:00 am.

Gifts and Giveaways

Exhibitors may offer individual booth awards to residents who register at their booths.
