Case Study: a remote Alaskan island FQHC fills an FM-OB opening with Jackson Physician Search

a remote alaskan island FQHC places an FM-OB in 9 months with Jackson Physician Search

The customer, an FQHC on a remote Alaskan island, faced a significant challenge recruiting a family medicine-obstetrics (FM-OB) physician due to its extremely isolated location, narrow candidate parameters, and a sense of urgency after a year of searching. They partnered with the vendor, Jackson Physician Search, to utilize its digital recruitment strategy and expertise.

Jackson Physician Search implemented its strategy through a dedicated search consultant who expanded the candidate pool and maintained persistent communication. This resulted in the successful placement of a perfect cultural fit, a 2024 graduate, within just nine months of the vendor taking on the search, finally filling the FQHC's critical need.
