    Explore your options with a VISTA recruiter

    Once you contact a VISTA Extended Placements recruiter, you’ll start building a relationship with an experienced professional who can help you articulate your priorities and preferences. He or she will discuss our current opportunities and how they might fit. But don’t be shy if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for in our job listing. We have long-term relationships with clients across the country and can often develop positions to fit physicians’ needs.
