Boise is a lively, compact city with strong hospitals and clinics, a thriving food and craft‑beer scene, and immediate access to year‑round outdoor recreation—from the Boise River Greenbelt and foothill trails to Bogus Basin ski area—so a multi‑week contract feels like living somewhere with plenty to do after work.
Nearby Meridian and Nampa (both under 25 miles) add more dining, shopping and clinic options, and the area’s affordable neighborhoods, farmers’ markets and live music make it easy to settle in and actually want to extend a placement.
