Meet Our Thought Leaders

Our physician recruitment thought leaders possess a deep understanding of the evolving healthcare landscape, the unique challenges in healthcare staffing, and the strategies required to attract and retain top providers.

Combining our industry surveys and reports with their vast expertise gained through decades of recruiting providers for health systems, hospitals, medical practices, and other healthcare facilities, our thought leaders guide organizations in developing effective recruitment strategies, creating a positive candidate experience, and advising on retention best practices. They also support physicians throughout the job search process to ensure the opportunity is the right fit for their career and life goals.

"As the daughter of a physician and a native of West Des Moines, Iowa, I have witnessed firsthand, the transformation of healthcare and its effects on both the physician and the heartland community. The ever-changing landscape of healthcare makes finding the ‘right’ candidate even more important. The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to lead a team that is passionate about delivering exceptional physicians to our clients and matching those doctors, and their families, with organizations and communities that are the right fit."
