Hospitals and health organizations seeking new Clinical Specialists can differ on the amount of experience they require in a quality candidate. It’s not uncommon for companies to hire Clinical Specialists with little to no unsupervised experience practicing medicine, as many candidates have spent months or years as an intern. Some companies also accept experience in similar roles such as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician’s Assistant (PA) as they each require a similar set of skills.

They usually specialize in certain types of treatment or in the treatment of very specific medical conditions that require more in-depth knowledge than a general practitioner may possess.
