What is an Physician's Agent ?

When medical facilities' use an outside service to search for locating and recruiting key medical staff the service is called "Physician Search". The term "Physician's Agent" refers to the service provided to individual physicians that are seeking a new practice or medical staff position.

Physician Agent services includes consulting of an individualized nature, research to identify prospective medical group or facilities and direct representation to decision makers to match the physician to a need in a targeted medical group or facility.

The physician that is currently employed receives the confidentiality required and a professional Physician's Agent working on his/her behalf while the physician continues to perform their current practice responsibilities.

An unemployed physician receives professional services that provide a faster and higher level of success.

The three steps of Focus, Communications and Contacts are implemented for each physician. The physician must identify what his value in the market is, and identify who needs him. This is "focus", the first step. Then, the next step is to communicate this to the "decision-makers" that have a need that is a match for the physician's value. The language used must reflect your compatibility with the targeted medical facility or practice. Therefore, the materials like letters, CV's or profiles must also demonstrate this compatibility. The third step is making the right contacts.

The "Physician's Agent", by making direct contacts to decision makers, can identify medical staffing needs that have not been published, and a "third-party" referral of the job seeker can be accomplished in a professional environment.
