The ads are often pro forma postings by departments that already have a candidate in mind but have to fulfill an obligation to advertise widely when seeking candidates.<br/><br/>Most surgery specialties have better-trafficked and more efficient outlets for job openings.

There are WAY more primary care docs than there are specialists. In my city there are hundreds of IM docs while there are only 3 neurosurgeons and 8 ENTs.
