Recruitment

Is Independent Practice with Sutter Independent Physicians Right for You?

Many physicians in America are in independent practice, but many younger physicians have had little exposure to independent practice and are unsure whether this would work for them. And of course, independent practices are not all alike! Here’s some information to help you become acquainted with some of your options.

SIP Recruiting Assistance

SIP is pleased to provide additional assistance for recruiting physicians and mid-level practitioners! It has become increasingly difficult to recruit physicians, especially when there is no active hospital support, and also mid-levels. SIP has partnered with Jordan Search Consultants to help with this. Here are the details: Independent Practice with SIP

For physicians, this is designed for specialties where hospital recruiting support is not available or has been ineffective – usually PCPs. SIP will combine active recruitment efforts from our practices for a concerted effort by Jordan.  SIP will pay most of the fee, asking practices to contribute only $200/month for a maximum of 10 months, plus $2000 when a candidate signs up with you.

For mid-levels, hospital support is usually not available. We will start with PCP mid-level recruiting, considering adding specialty recruiting if there is sufficient interest. SIP will pay most of the fee, asking practices to contribute only $100/month for a maximum of 10 months, plus $2000 when a candidate signs up with you. Our first round of recruiting is beginning, so please let Dr. Herbert know by October 6 if you wish to participate (herbertd@sutterhealth.org).
