Plan the work location in Miami.
Downtown Miami is an area within the City of Miami. Coral Gables and Doral are separate municipalities. A Miami-Dade search should identify which municipality and hospital the doctor will actually attend.
For Miami-area practices, agree the hospital, clinical scope and communication duties before describing a regional opportunity. A role spanning Miami, Coral Gables and Doral needs an explicit schedule and a named clinical lead at each location.
