title: Selecting a physician executive.
abstract: Selecting a physician executive can be a complex task. The process is complicated by the explosive demand for qualified physician executives. Although the number of physician managers has grown since 1979, the demand still outstrips the supply of physicians with track records. Also, many organizations have never had a full-time person serving in the capacity of Medical Director or Vice President of Medical Affairs, so the process of recruiting this person is new to them.
