Medical climate in NE Wisconsin

PM sent

 

I can't tell you much about the Medical climate in Appleton, other than the fact that my girlfriend is also considering taking a job there in her field (in which case I'd also likely be relocating up there).

As far as cities go, you being from Manitowoc (where I also have family), I can tell you that Appleton is still a nice city as far as that goes. I'm in law enforcement, so from that perspective I can tell you that the violent crime that is starting to take roots in Sheboygan (up from Milwaukee) hasn't yet spread up the coast to Manitowoc/Green Bay, or over to Appleton etc.

From what I can tell listening to my girlfriend, a lot of their larger medical facilities in Appleton are on par with Froedert in Milwaukee where she currently goes to school; much better than Fond du Lac, and better than UW Hospital here in Madison.

 

OP,

I work for a company that processes human and porcine tissue for use in the OR. I work in the OR at AMC as well as two other ThedaCare facilities. It's a nice facility. OR staff is great (although you'll probably be in the cath lab most of the time?). Location is nice. Especially in the summers with a lot to do around the lakes. Buddy of mine I went to high school with is a general surgeon there. Don't know much about your practice so it's hard to give you a true thumbs up or down but I don't think you could go wrong moving there. If you were CT instead of CV I would have had a sweet position for you.
