Prepare the role brief

- Describe equipment, referral relationships and supporting staff.
- Define clinical autonomy, service development and on-call expectations.

A New Orleans-area search should identify the hospital that owns the vacancy, the clinical service and the site-specific schedule. Describe any Metairie or Mandeville responsibility before discussing a regional appointment.
