Recruiter Notes

The biggest hard stop is ophthalmology. This is not a general OR opening. The candidate needs to be able to independently handle cataract and corneal cases and must be comfortable both scrubbing and circulating.

Also confirm the candidate can meet the 30-minute call response time, especially with potential every-other-weekend call.
