About Us

The CareerPhysician Difference

Our team at CareerPhysician is intentional in our commitment to a boutique approach to executive search and leadership development. Our 20+ years of success can be attributed to our unique approach and consultative model that ensures the highest level of personalized attention to our clients and candidates.

Our team understands better than anyone the impact world-class physician and executive leaders have on the lives of children and families and recognizes the indelible impact transformational leaders have on developing high-functioning teams capable of delivering strong fiscal performance and academic achievement.

We tailor our leadership search and retention processes to the evolving cultures and strategic plans of client organizations to ensure their ability to attract and secure leaders from among the top 10% of national and international candidate pools.

Our team has successfully completed 400+ academic search and leadership engagements. Clients rely on our innovative platforms for passive candidate engagement and an unmatched track record for completing complex academic search and leadership development assignments.

In partnership with the Child Health Advisory Council, there is not an academic search or leadership development challenge we have not encountered.

Since 2000, our focus has remained on tailored process excellence versus a cookie cutter, one size fits all offering.
