Physician recruitment is more complex than ever. From mounting administrative burdens and accelerated hiring timelines to market pressures and limited resources, today’s in-house physician recruiters face challenges that can drain their energy and disconnect them from the purpose that drew them to this work in the first place.
In a recent survey of AAPPR members, we asked what drains their energy the most, and the responses were eye-opening. In this practical webinar, we’ll not only reveal the key findings from that survey but also tackle the most common roadblocks head-on, offering actionable strategies you can use to overcome them.
Whether you’re struggling with inefficient processes, misalignment with hiring teams, limited influence with leadership, or the constant pressure of tight budgets and candidate shortages, you’ll walk away with fresh perspectives to protect your energy, elevate your performance, and achieve lasting success in physician recruitment.
