Is it more important to heal Jewish people than non-Jewish people?
Practically speaking, would it be better to take a position at a hospital that has more Jewish patients, particularly religious Jewish patients, over a hospital with less observant Jews and non-Jews?

In general, it is preferable to work in the place with the highest medical standard, that is, of course, only if you have an actual possibility of maintaining Halacha and refrain from prohibited Chilul Shabbat, either on a non-endangered patient or other cases.
