Recruitment Enterprise Physician & Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Recruitment Team
The Enterprise Physician & Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Recruitment Team is dedicated to supporting the hiring of Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) across our owned and managed healthcare communities. Since our establishment in 2016, we have spearheaded efforts in advertising, candidate sourcing, and pre-interview vetting, ensuring a smooth and efficient recruitment process.
Our screening process is thorough, ensuring each candidate is fully qualified, licensed, and prepared to deliver safe, high-quality care. This involves verifying education, training, certifications, and licenses directly with issuing institutions through primary source verification.
Since the department’s inception in 2016, the team has recruited over 2000 Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers across our system enterprise.
We maintain strong connections with residency and fellowship programs, including the UNC School of Medicine, offering support with CV reviews, interview preparation, contract guidance, and credentialing advice. Additionally, we conduct quarterly outreach to over 300 training programs nationwide to promote current job openings and incentives.
