Greetings!
Happy New Year! Here to help you kick off 2010 is our latest issue of the Medical Opportunities in Ohio (MOO) newsletter. This electronic newsletter has moved to a quarterly publishing schedule, with the next issue due out in the Spring. We aim to include a variety of regionally and nationally focused articles in each newsletter for the benefit of recruiters and administrators alike. In this Winter 2010 issue we highlight the financial impact that a physician has on their community, new regional medical school updates, ideas for recruiting your medical students and residents and user tips for the www.ohmoo.org website. Enjoy!
Sincerely, Deb Collier, Kim Burley and Jodi Schafer |
Community Based Physician Recruitment Model
Recruiting challenges today have every community seeking out new and creative ways to attract and retain physicians to their areas. Physician recruiters often struggle to get their communities involved in the overall recruitment process. In 2008, a group of healthcare organizations in the Lansing, Michigan area formed a coalition, Capital Area Physician Experience (CAPE), to work together with each other and the surrounding community to attract and better retain physicians.

Medical School News
An increase in medical school enrollment is one of the efforts underway to address the physician shortage. Of note is the number of new medical colleges in the Medical Opportunities' service area that have opened or are in development.

Thriving in the Midwest Winter 
In the Midwest, winter weather is a common topic of discussion during recruitment visits and can be a factor in medical staff retention. Although physician recruiters and physician liaisons have been known to move mountains to meet the needs of their doctors, the weather is best handled with a positive attitude and some creativity.
