Due to health care reform and the drive to form Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), health care providers are forced to address the issue of recruiting talented physicians as well as devise creative strategies on how to overcome the current shortage of physicians.

By attending the World Congress Leadership Summit on Physician Recruitment you’ll have an opportunity to hear from leading industry executives on techniques they are adapting to overcome these challenges.  The physician shortage and lack of primary care practitioners is impacting both urban and rural hospitals and unless the issue is resolved immediately, the access and delivery of quality care will be severely impacted in these communities. 

Topics to be discussed at this summit include:

• Negotiation strategies for physician recruiting
• Building a successful physician liaison program
• Utilizing technology to recruit physicians
• Recruiting in a rural environment
• Physician recruitment websites – Practice Link - Practice Match
• Developing a successful training outreach program
• Reviewing the relationship between financial services, performance and reimbursement
• Methods on how to obtain a high ROI when working with search firms
• How to maximize your recruitment budget
• Training and development strategies for physician recruitment
• Sales strategies for health care business development
