Over the years you will move between hospitals and clinics; plan early and work with Healthcare Moving Experts to reduce disruption to your practice and personal life.
You should set a clear timeline that aligns contract start dates, state medical license transfers, credentialing deadlines, and school terms if you have children.
You can request a specialized moving team that knows how to handle medical devices, protected health information, and hospital-grade equipment so fragile items are packed and transported correctly.
Make an itemized inventory of professional gear and household items, label boxes by priority and room, and pack a go-bag with scrubs, ID, stethoscope, phone charger, important paperwork, and emergency cash.
Contact your new employer’s HR and credentialing office early, notify state medical boards, transfer malpractice coverage, and confirm any facility-specific training or immunization requirements before your first shift.
Call Healthcare Moving Experts for written estimates that include packing, transport, secure storage, and insurance options; compare those estimates to independent movers if you want multiple bids.
On moving day supervise the packing of specialty equipment, verify serial numbers and receipts, confirm insurance coverage for high-value items, and get delivery windows in writing to avoid last-minute surprises.
Unpack high-priority areas first so you can work comfortably-set up a functional workspace, locate medical tools, and install crucial utilities and internet connection before resuming clinical duties.
Set aside recovery time between the move and your first shift to sleep, finish paperwork, and orient yourself to the new facility; arrange childcare or pet care for busy transition days.
Scan and back up professional and personal records, securely destroy any controlled substance waste per local rules, update mailing and licensing addresses, and keep a short checklist for post-move tasks to finish within the first two weeks.
