Health Career Resources
Geographic preference is one of the many factors used to decide where they live and work. The Alabama page of 3RNet offers job opportunities grouped into three main areas of the state. Anyone is able to view limited information about these job opportunities, however when you register as a candidate, you will be allowed to see more detailed information. If you are a health care professional in the primary care disciplines we serve, you will be referred to those opportunities if you select Alabama as a state of interest.
