How heavily does education influence employment opportunities?

<p>“If you want to work at a large hospital in Boston or New York, and perhaps in academics, then where you train makes a lot of difference.”</p>

<p>Though this is about what I expected, the term “a lot” still kind of bothers me. :p</p>

<p>One of the specialties/sub specialties that (currently) interests me is Cardiothoracic Surgery, so it’s a bit comforting to know that hospitals want more fellows in that area than they have.</p>

<p>Family Practice and Pediatrics don’t really interest me too much, and I think I want to work at a hospital anyway. On that note, sorry to hijack my own thread, but how do most hospitals handle malpractice? Full coverage, no coverage, somewhere in between? Thanks.</p>
