Tampa General Staffing and Referral Incentives

To fulfill our mission as one of the safest and most innovative academic medical centers in the country, we must be aggressive and develop new strategies to cultivate, hire and retain top-level talent. And we are doing just that. In fact, many of our new initiatives have already gone live. Tampa General is also offering a generous recruitment and referral incentive bonus, where you can earn up to $20,000! Details can be found here.
