Academic Medicine Practice

Successful management of an academic medical center

is more challenging than it has ever been, requiring an

increasingly wide range of skills to balance the diverse

missions of academics, research, teaching, fundraising, and

complex clinical delivery systems.

Each medical school is different. Research-intensive medical

schools are as different as those who do some research

but are most clinically focused, as are teaching focused

medical schools. Attracting leaders with the personal and

professional characteristics to match the schools’ mission is

imperative to ensuring success and requires the counsel of

an experienced search partner.

Director on behalf of our clients. We

have a successful track record and a list

of well-satisfied clients for review.

In addition to university academic

health centers, we successfully recruit

executives on behalf of a broad range

of organizations that support the

field of medicine such as acute care

hospitals, hospital systems, group

practices, research associations and

pharmaceutical firms. We believe

this flexibility and creativity adds value

by producing broader pools including

both traditional and out-of-the-box

candidates giving our clients additional

choices when they seek particular

industry skills to enhance fulfillment of

their mission.

Hallmarks of Our Continued Success

We successfully assist the institution to define its understanding of the new leader’s

essential qualities and build consensus on which skills and experience are truly

required.

We advise the search committee on designing a comprehensive search recruitment

process that blends efficiency, confidentiality, and inclusiveness to remove much of the

“homework” off the shoulders of the members throughout the process.

We excel in appropriate strategy development to target prospects and have the expertise

to accurately represent the opportunity, confidentially approach potential candidates and

cultivate interest at a high level.

Every search assignment on behalf of clients has a built in diversity component and

is tracked throughout. We are proud of our record of achievement in this area as

evidenced by the fact that over 24% of assignments have been completed with diversity

candidates over the life of our firm.

Our PhilosophyWe believe that a successful academic

medicine executive search not only

matches individual skills and interests

with the medical school, it offers the

search committee and administration an

important opportunity to build unity, vision

and strength throughout the community.

In our view, it is much more than finding

the next leader. Broad institutional goals

are most effectively met through a careful

process that is well defined and involves a

wide range of constituents.

comprehensive recruiting and assessment

of academic medicine professionals in the

executive search industry. Repeat client

relationships are the foundation of our

continued success and represents 70% of

Our Proven ProcessWe believe our experience as former members

of search committees and consultants to them

further differentiates us, and gives us the insight

to effectively provide guidance on selecting and

appointing functions within the committee while

offering strategic counsel to the committee chair.

And we appreciate that involvement on a search

committee is largely voluntary, in addition to each

members’ current position, and that the time

commitment of each member necessary to bring

about a successful search is extensive.

To reduce the burden of the search committee and

its chair, we invest a great deal effort to develop

a comprehensive search process that addresses

the unique issues of the institution, identifies the

challenges the next senior administrator must

address as well as the personal and professional

characteristics that the individual will likely need to

succeed.

After interviewing multiple constituents and gaining

a thorough understanding if the mission of the

institution, we work with the search committee, to

develop a position profile that thoroughly represents

the nature of the position, responsibilities and

performance expectations of the next senior

administrator.

We then recruit highly qualified, diverse, distinguished

candidates, particularly those who might otherwise

not apply utilizing the best practices of the search

firm industry.

We interview, assess, provide reporting and conduct

reference checks on all finalist candidates and

assist in the successful negotiation of offers to

candidates.

Upon successful completion of the search, we assist

in transition and close the assignment by contacting

candidates and referral sources to thank them for

their involvement to enhance our client’s reputation

as well as maintain friendship with our contact

base.
