- Read replacement conditions, exclusions and any additional terms.
Prepare the role brief

Plan the work location in Oakland.
Oakland’s Rockridge and Fruitvale districts are distinct from the separate City of Berkeley. Oakland identifies BART stations at Rockridge and Fruitvale, but a station name does not establish a walkable route to a particular hospital.
For an Oakland search, give the hospital entrance, shift times and the clinical resources at that site. Keep any Berkeley assignment separate, and let candidates assess the journey from the actual address.
Review Oakland-area recruiting coverage →Local context for this role
For an Oakland specialist search, state where procedures occur and which equipment is already installed. If Berkeley is included, give its separate site schedule and referral responsibilities.
Plan California credential checks before the start date.
The Board’s license page describes the search, and each record shows whether a license is current, expired or subject to disciplinary action. Assign a person to verify status, record the date and resolve questions with the Board. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
