    How to Get Hired at Universal Health Services

    • Research the specific UHS facility named in the job posting before applying — each facility has its own culture, patient population, and leadership team, and your application should reflect awareness of that facility's context, not just UHS as a corporation
    • Complete your iCIMS candidate profile in full, including licensure states, NPI number, board certification status, and specialty areas — incomplete profiles are functionally invisible to UHS recruiters running filtered searches
