Plan the work location in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and Sandy are separate Utah cities. Use the hospital’s actual municipality and street address, especially when its regional name includes Salt Lake.
A Salt Lake-area search should identify the home hospital and the clinical service being filled. Specify referral, inpatient and procedure duties at that address and list any South Salt Lake or Sandy assignment separately.
