How to apply for a Mass General Hospital job

Mass General states that it accepts online job applications rather than résumé-only applications by email.

Find the exact opening. Use the official careers portal and open the specific job you want rather than submitting a general résumé to the hospital.
Read the minimum qualifications first. Check required degree, experience, license, certification, shift and location.
Start the online application. Sign in or create the candidate profile required by the careers platform.
Upload your current résumé. Make sure dates, titles, clinical credentials and contact information are accurate.
Complete every required application field. Do not assume that uploading a résumé automatically replaces all required application questions.
Review before submitting. Confirm email address, phone, work history, license information and the exact position selected.
Submit the application. Mass General says applicants receive an automatic email notification after submission.
Wait for recruiter review. The application is routed to the appropriate Human Resources recruiter for review against the role’s requirements.
Do not email a résumé instead of applying online. The careers email is useful for application questions or technical difficulty, but Mass General’s FAQ says the hospital accepts job applications through its online system.

What should your résumé include?

The most useful résumé is one that makes it easy for a recruiter to match your background to the posting.

For clinical jobs

  • Current professional title
  • State license and status when relevant
  • Required certifications
  • Clinical specialty experience
  • Hospital/unit experience
  • Electronic health-record experience when relevant
  • Education and graduation dates
  • Shift or schedule experience where useful

For research / non-clinical jobs

  • Relevant job titles and responsibilities
  • Research methods or laboratory techniques
  • Data, software or systems experience
  • Regulatory or IRB experience where relevant
  • Education
  • Certifications
  • Project accomplishments
  • Skills specifically requested in the posting
Practical approach: read the first several responsibilities and required qualifications in the job posting, then make sure your résumé clearly shows where you have actually performed those functions. Do not add skills or credentials you do not have.

What happens after you submit an application?

Submission confirmation does not mean that an interview has been scheduled.

Application submitted
Mass General says an automatic email notification is sent after online submission.
Recruiter review
The application is routed to the appropriate Human Resources recruiter, who reviews skills and experience against the job requirements.
Not selected immediately
Mass General warns that the automatic acknowledgement may be the only correspondence some applicants receive about that application.
Application status question
Because the system receives a high volume of applications, Mass General Brigham says it may not be able to respond individually to application-status inquiries.
Reapplying to same position
Mass General Brigham currently warns that repeated submissions for the same position can replace the previously submitted application for that position.
There is no publicly guaranteed “you will hear back within X days” rule for every Mass General job. Hiring speed varies by department, vacancy urgency, applicant volume, credentialing needs and interview availability.

Mass General interview process: what to expect

The hospital does not publish one fixed interview sequence that applies to every job family.

Interview format can vary significantly. A research assistant, staff nurse, physician, laboratory technologist, manager and environmental-services candidate should not expect identical hiring steps.

Prepare for these common topics

  • Why you applied for the specific role
  • Your relevant experience
  • Schedule and shift availability
  • Examples of teamwork
  • Communication with patients, families or colleagues
  • Problem solving
  • Quality and safety awareness for clinical roles
  • Research, systems or technical skills where relevant
  • Required licenses and certifications
  • When you would be available to start
Temporary roles have a clearer published process: Mass General Brigham’s Bulfinch Temporary Service says selected applicants receive a phone screen and interview with a Staffing Specialist before assignment matching and pre-employment requirements.

Background checks and pre-employment requirements

An offer can be contingent on completing Mass General Brigham employment requirements.

Current Mass General Brigham employment conditions include, as applicable:

Identity & work authorization

Compliance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services rules for identity verification and authorization to work in the United States.

Background screening

Massachusetts CORI and other relevant local or national criminal background checks.

Exclusion screening

Review of applicable Medicare sanctions and exclusions lists.

Health / drug screening

Pre-employment health and drug screening can apply depending on the position.

References

Reference information can include academic and employment records, final evaluations and recommendations for future employment.

Clinical credentialing

Clinical positions may additionally require credentialing and medical-staff appointment before the applicant can provide clinical services.

Vaccination requirement

The current Mass General Brigham conditions-of-employment page lists annual compliance with the system’s Influenza Vaccination Policy. Individual jobs may have additional occupational-health requirements, so applicants should follow the latest conditions shown in the posting and onboarding instructions.

Some older Mass General career webpages can retain earlier employment-condition language. For a 2026 application, use the current Mass General Brigham conditions page and the requirements attached to your actual offer rather than relying on an older cached page.
Current Employment Conditions

Nursing jobs at Massachusetts General Hospital

Nursing is one of the largest career pathways within an academic medical center such as Mass General.

Nursing openings can span inpatient units, critical care, emergency services, procedural areas, ambulatory clinics, specialty programs, advanced practice and nursing-support roles.

Before applying to a nursing posting, check:

  • Massachusetts RN/LPN licensing requirement
  • Required specialty experience
  • BLS, ACLS, PALS or other certifications if listed
  • Day, evening, night or rotating shift
  • Weekend and holiday expectations
  • Full-time, part-time, per diem or temporary status
  • Unit or clinical service
  • Whether prior academic-medical-center experience is required or only preferred
Do not reject yourself because a posting lists several “preferred” qualifications. First distinguish between required and preferred qualifications, then apply if you meet the actual minimum requirements and the role is a genuine fit.

Where are Mass General jobs located?

“Mass General job” does not always mean the employee works at 55 Fruit Street.

Main hospital campus 55 Fruit Street

Boston, MA 02114.

The main campus includes the hospital plus buildings such as the Lunder Building, Yawkey Center and Wang Ambulatory Care Center. Mass General also uses numerous other Boston-area clinical, research and administrative locations.

Check “Site” and “Location” before applying. A job listed in the Mass General Brigham system may be at Massachusetts General Hospital, Assembly Row, another Boston facility or a different Mass General Brigham affiliate. Your commute should be planned from the address in the specific posting.

Getting to the Mass General main campus for work

Public transportation is often more practical than daily parking for employees working on the Boston main campus.

MBTA Red Line

Charles/MGH Station

The station is directly across from the main hospital area and is the primary subway stop for the 55 Fruit Street campus.

Accessible transit

Mass General states that the Charles/MGH Red Line station is ADA-compliant and barrier-free, with elevator/escalator access.

The Mass General careers site also highlights Boston’s subway, bus, commuter rail and walking options. Mass General’s own employee benefits information has historically included public-transit support for eligible employees; confirm the current employee transportation benefit during onboarding.

If your posting lists a research or administrative building away from 55 Fruit Street, do not plan your commute using Charles/MGH automatically. Search the exact work address first.

How to recognize a fake Mass General job offer

Healthcare job seekers are frequently targeted with fake recruiter, check and equipment-purchase scams.

Legitimate hiring

  • You apply through the official careers platform.
  • Recruitment communication comes from the official organization.
  • No application or recruitment fee is required.
  • You are not asked to send money to receive a job.

Major warning signs

  • Recruiter asks for payment.
  • Recruiter asks for bank details during initial hiring contact.
  • You are sent a check and told to buy equipment.
  • Recruiter uses an unrelated consumer email domain.
  • You never submitted an application but receive a high-paying “instant offer.”
Mass General Brigham’s current fraud notice says official recruitment communications are sent from an @mgb.org email address. Verify suspicious recruiting contact by calling 857-282-7642.
The official Mass General website still lists careers@partners.org for general careers/application help. That help address should not be confused with recruiter outreach or used as proof that an unsolicited job offer is genuine.

Application assistance and disability accommodation

Mass General provides an alternative assistance route for applicants who cannot use the online system because of a disability.

Accommodation phone 617-726-5140

For individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans who need assistance using the online application system.

Access Center Bulfinch Building, Room 107
