Types of Clients We Serve

We leverage expert knowledge of academic and privately-owned medical centers to provide tailored recruitment solutions for institutions and organizations spanning the entirety of the healthcare spectrum.

Academic Medical Centers

Initially founded as a niche physician recruitment firm focusing on the academic neurosciences and higher education, Academic Med has developed an intimate understanding of academic medical institutions and their workings. The search process for academic centers creates an opportunity for the program to rejuvenate the community and its citizens.

Children’s Medical Centers

Academic Med works with some of the fastest growing pediatric healthcare systems of the country, working to bring in leadership and faculty that can carry the responsiblities bestowed upon them by the community at large. Children’s hospitals require that their leaders and faculty carry out the duties of other healthcare professionals, while working towards improving care for all children.

Hospitals & Health Systems

Academic Med supports entities owned by for-profit companies and non-profit organizations. Additionally, the “privademic” model can offer physicians an appealing blend of autonomy in practice, infrastructure and other support for those eager to remain active in research, and residency and fellowship programs for the academically-oriented.

Strategize

Based on our research and industry knowledge, we develop the search specifications and strategy by which we produce results. A tailored, individual strategy is developed and implemented for each search

Step 2
Assess & Match
Assess

An assigned team of search consultants will work with you from the beginning of the process to assess and evaluate your needs in relation to various programs and organizations.
