packfan007, I saw an earlier post you made about this and it's ironic that I literally JUST filled out an online app for PPD and submitted it. The others didn't have any openings that I saw. I would...

How do you go about finding dr office jobs? Only thing I have found is by googling "family practice" or something to that extent and then seeing if they have a website and email address listed. ALOT...
