title: Is the doctor in? Proven strategies for physician recruitment and retention.
abstract: Physician recruitment has been more difficult in this decade than at any time in the past. Successful physician recruitment--whether for a private practice or hospital--has its challenges. With serious physician shortages in the majority of clinical specialties, a complete overhaul is necessary in terms of how searches are conducted, how offers are made, and the skill set required for the new generation of physician recruiters. This article will discuss the key elements of any successful recruitment effort, and then address the challenges of physician retention in today's competitive market for physician talent.
