When you are part of a 2-person household, it’s more than about your physiatry interests in your practice search. Your partner has particular interests in determining where to move. Therefore, it’s very important to talk with your partner about their interests, be they hobbies, geographic location, schooling, etc. before you pursue a job. This front-end discussion will save you and the hiring entity time and expedite your physical medicine and rehabilitation practice search. It also avoids finding out midway through discussions with a PM& R hiring entity that your partner doesn’t have an interest in the area and upsetting the physiatric hiring entity when you withdraw from the position.
